An observed pattern of burglaries has been identified at the construction site located at 100 Mulcahy Bl. in the beginning of April involving three separate burglaries. On 4/7/23, while conducting surveillance, deputies observed the suspects and attempted a traffic stop of a white Chevrolet Impala. The suspect refused to stop, and a pursuit was initiated. In light of the defendant's erratic driving, it was ultimately terminated out of concern for public safety. In the course of the investigation, surveillance footage was acquired from the construction site, and numerous civilians and law enforcement officials were able to definitively identify the individuals involved as Ronald Paniccia and Cassandra Dieter. Furthermore, it was determined that these individuals had outstanding warrants from across the county.
Paniccia and Dieter were located by the US Marshals Service and MCSO Tactical Unit at 8:30 AM on April 18th, 2024, inside a stolen Chevrolet Cruz and in possession of a stolen Chevrolet Impala at the parking lot of 40 Marshall St in the City of Rochester. In the process of apprehending both individuals, Paniccia rapidly reversed his vehicle, colliding with the car of a Task Force member and causing him to fall to the ground upon exiting (Fortunately, he sustained no injuries). Paniccia then drove forward, striking an MCSO and a USMS vehicle. Paniccia was extracted from the vehicle, while Dieter persisted in her efforts to re-engage the vehicle's gear. In the end, both suspects were apprehended and taken for medical evaluation. Once released, investigators interviewed each suspect at C Zone where they waived their Miranda rights and made admissions to the three burglaries. They were both remanded to MCJ on the existing warrants from across the county. On Saturday 4/27, Paniccia and Dieter were arraigned in Rochester City court on CPSP 3, Criminal Mischief 2, Reckless Endangerment 2, and Resisting Arrest for their actions while being taken into custody. Arrest warrants were obtained and lodged for the three Chili Burglaries.
