Deputies Return Hartwick Family

Charged In Robbery At Pit Stop

HARTWICK – A Hartwick father, mother and son were brought back from Florida Wednesday to face charges in the armed robbery of the Pit Stop convenience store in Hartwick Seminary two days before Christmas.

The three, Timothy S. Lord, 45., Christine J. Lord, 43, and their son, Kaine W. Lord, 21, who allegedly fled New York State to Deltona, Fla., had been arrested in a pre-dawn raid May 8 conducted by a SWAT team of the Volusia County Sheriff’s Department.

They had been held in the Daytona County Correctional Facility as fugitives from justice. Back in Otsego County, they were arraigned Wednesday evening by Hartwick Town Justic Orrin D. Higgins and remanded to county jail on $100,000 bail.  If convicted, the Lords face up to 25 years in jail.
