"That day, I was seeing UFOs and voices telling me to go home," he said. "There were aliens in my kitchen."

      ohn A. Pino, who testified he did not remember the events of Aug. 26, 2013, will remember Tuesday as the day a Schuylkill County jury convicted him of 18 crimes stemming from those events that left Saint Clair's police chief unable to work.

Pino, 70, of Shenandoah, who said he had seen aliens on that day, did not react as the jury of six men and six women convicted him of three counts of aggravated assault, five of simple assault, six of recklessly endangering another person and one each of resisting arrest, fleeing or eluding police, accident involving damage to attended vehicle or property and retail theft, and acquitted him of two counts of aggravated assault. Jurors deliberated approximately five hours before reaching their verdict.

. . . Pino had testified earlier Tuesday that he did not remember going to Wal-Mart or being in the chase.

"That day, I was seeing UFOs and voices telling me to go home," he said. "There were aliens in my kitchen." . . .
