Man on Probation in McKean County
Jailed in WV for Child Sex Assault

A man who was sentenced to probation last month in McKean County is now in jail in West Virginia for alleged sexual abuse of a 4-year-old girl.

25-year-old Tony Ford was booked at the North Central Regional Jail in Marion County on Wednesday.

West Virginia State Police began looking into sexual abuse allegations involving the girl back in November 2009.

The victim's mother called authorities and told them her daughter had been touched by "Uncle Tony". Ford had been living with the family for quite some time, according to the criminal complaint. He allegedly touched the girl inappropriately and told her not to tell anyone.

Ford moved out of the house before he was arrested, and has been living in Pennsylvania since the incident.

US Marshals picked him up as a fugitive from justice in March near Towanda and brought him to McKean County to answer charges that he was riding a bicycle on a Main Street sidewalk in Bradford after police told him not to. When police stopped him again, he gave them a false, name, address and phone number.

Last month he was sentenced to 18 months’ probation on those charges.

His bail in West Virginia is $100,000.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly...
