WILKES-BARRE – A guy who claimed to be the target of a gunguy arrested Tuesday night for drug trafficking.
A city police officer in the Sherman Hills apartment domain near Coal Street heard several gunshots and noticed a vehicle leaving the complex around 11:23 p.m.
Police stopped the vehicle and met the driving force as Wilkes-Barre’s 30-year-old Trevor Holman.
Holman told police he fired near the front of the compound. A bullet hole uncovered in the passenger-side door of Holman’s vehicle, police said.
Police said they recovered 15 bullet casings where Holman said he was being attacked.
Holman reportedly told police that there was a white vehicle involved.
Police said Holman wasn’t cooperating.
A records check showed that Holman searched for two charges of ownership with the intention of handing over a controlled substance and a charge for possession of a controlled substance and illegal use of a media outlet. He filed charges Wednesday through District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke and jailed at Luzerne County Correctional Center on $100,000 bail.
A state appeals court upheld the verdict of a Luzerne County jury that attributed the involuntary manslaughter in the 2017 Brock Earnest shooting to Keith Michael Williams.
Williams, 44, appealed the conviction and a criminal sentence of four, six months to nine years, saying the fatal shooting was in self-defense.
State police said Williams and Earnest, 40, of Montandon, were concerned in an outdoor match at an apartment in Old Tioga Turnpike in Fairmount Township on January 11, 2017.
After the match and while Earnest was sitting on a couch inside the residence, Williams entered a room and loaded a shotgun, went to the living room and shot Earnest in the chest, according to court records.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Gary Ross testified at the trial of Williams County Judge David W. Lupas in August 2018 that the shotgun explosion left a circular gap about 2.25 inches in diameter on Earnest’s chest. Based on the injury, Ross estimated that the shotgun barrel was between 2.5 and 6 feet away from Earnest.
Williams’ friend diedre Depiero testified at the trial that she invited Earnest home after Earnest claimed she had oral cancer and felt she needed to be with someone.
Depiero told jurors that Williams and Earnest were fighting, but she first called him playful before fitting in uncontrollable.
In his appeal, Williams relied on self-defense and denied that there was inadequate evidence for a conviction. Williams believed he was in immediate and imminent danger of death from serious injury, according to his appeal.
Deputy Prosecutors Michelle Hardik and Justin Richards filed for a conviction for first- or third-degree murder, while Williams’ lawyers, Demetrius Fannick and Christine Marie Trout, sought acquittal based on the self-defense claim.
In the end, the jury discovered that Williams was guilty of voluntary manslaughter, one of five felonies under the Criminal Homicide Act.
“Clearly, the jury, as a fact-making investigator, did not understand all the parts of the evidence that it considered credible. Taken together, the evidence presented through (the deputy district attorneys) fully supports the jury’s conclusion that he (the prosecutors) fulfilled his responsibility to prove that (Williams) was not acting in self-defense when he shot and killed the victim.” – A panel of members of the state’s Superior Court ruled on Tuesday.
The appeals court found that evidence presented through prosecutors during the trial showed that the match between Williams and Earnest ended before the shooting, and Williams was able to distance himself from Earnest after the match.

WILKES-BARRE – A lawyer at Mount Zion Baptist Church believes there is circumstantial evidence of racial discrimination in the Wilkes-Barre City Council vote not to replace land zoning with a planned church and networking room.
Attorney Michael Melnick, on behalf of Mount Zion, filed a reaction to the municipality’s request to dismiss a request through the church to overturn the council’s resolution to preserve land along South Sherman Street, zoned for heavy industries.
Mount Zion, a small church with limited parking on Hill Street, Wilkes-Barre, plans to build a new church and network corridor along South Empire Street in the borough. The location is a forest in front of the Mayflower apartments in Wilkes-Barre.
Although the Municipality Planning Commission changed the zoning of an M-3 heavy business district to an R-3 residential domain under the municipality’s zoning ordinance, the council rejected the zoning request at an assembly in April 2019.
Melnick in court records said the council had announced the April 2019 assembly and had invited church officials prior to its vote.
Melnick filed a lawsuit in Luzerne County Court last year for the council’s resolution to be overturned.
Last month, the town attorney, John Rodgers, filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, the Luzerne County court had no jurisdiction to rule on an appeal.
Rodgers says the court has the strength to interfere with the council’s legislative process.
Melnick responded by arguing that the April 2019 council vote violated the church’s right to a fair hearing by inviting them to the assembly when the board voted.
“This is circumstantial of racial discrimination in the sense that the wilkes-barre borough council completely white has refused to replace the zoning of Mount Zion’s Black Baptist Church,” Melnick wrote in his reply.
Melnick noted that the board voted to reject the replacement for zoning in April 2019 following the objection of his own lawyer, late attorney Bruce Phillips.
Phillips then postponed the hearing to the board, which “approved” his previous resolution on May 28, 2019, Melnick wrote.
Melnick believes he has jurisdiction to rule on the trial.
Rodgers can be contacted to comment Thursday on Melnick’s response.
WILKES-BARRE – A woman from the canton of Hanover accused of coughing and coughing up saliva in food products in a supermarket will undergo an assessment of her psychiatric abilities.

Hanover Cantonal police alleged that Cirko had entered the Gerrity supermarket on Sans Souci Drive on March 25 and shouted, “I have the virus, everyone is going to get sick,” spitting and coughing on foot.
Joe Fasula, co-owner of Gerrity’s, said at the time that about $35,000 in food had to be disposed of.
The alleged incident occurred shortly after Gov. Tom Wolf ordered a state of emergency due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Comet asked his psychiatric facility for an evaluation after reuniting Cirko for formal indictment on August 10.
According to Comet’s movement, Cirko “presented a mind and behavior that gave the impression of demonstrating the symptoms of an intellectual fitness disorder.”
Cirko rejected that of a social employee in the county public defender’s office, Comet said in the motion.
Comet said a Psychiatric assessment of Cirko is mandatory for his competence and intellectual ability to perceive criminal proceedings and lend a hand in his defense.
In a similar question, Comet attempted to have the rate of weapons of mass destruction ignored by arguing that the law came with physical fluids.
Deputy District Attorney First Sam Sanguedolce and Deputy District Attorney Drew McLaughlin argued at Cirko’s initial hearing on June 25 that they needed a “threat” to prosecute the rate of weapons of mass destruction that opposed it.
A hearing is scheduled for October 6 at Cometa’s to dismiss the charge.
Cirko negative for coronavirus as a result of the alleged incident. She remains free on bail of $50,000.

Thomas prosecuted through District Judge Joseph Halesey in Hanover Township on two counts of endangering the welfare of the youth and one of each of the property charges with the intention of handing over a controlled substance, owned by a controlled substance, drug ownership for props, driving with a license suspension. and a violation of the vehicle code. She was also accused of evil and disorderly conduct.
She locked up at Luzerne County Correctional Center for $25,000 bail.
On Wednesday, a state appeals court upheld the conviction of Michael Sansone, 33, a former Nanticoke volunteer firefighter convicted by a Luzerne County jury for endangering and illegally touching a minor.
Sansone challenged his conviction and criminal conviction for six to 12 years, which Judge Michael T.
According to Sansone’s appeal, he believed that C-Y’s files, if Vough had allowed his defense to suggest providing them with the trial, would have clarified all the allegations. Records indicated that a Sansone woman had been accused of sexual assault, had seen pornography on the Internet, and acquired wisdom to fabricate the accusations that opposed her.
Vough rejected the C-Y files, banning Sansone’s lawyer at trial.
Nanticoke police arrested Sansone in May 2016, alleging that he had abused an 8-year-old woman and a 10-year-old boy between July 2015 and April 2016.
A jury deliberated for about nine hours, and blamed Sansone for fees for illegal contact with a minor, bribery of minors, and endangering the welfare of children.
Sansone was acquitted of charges of rape of a child, gross indecent assault, involuntary sexual sex and other charges of illegal contact and danger of children.
Upon his release, Sansone will have to sign his contract with the state police for 25 years as a sex offender.
In his appeal, Sansone stated that he believed Vough deserved C-Y recordings to be legal during the trial and allowed his lawyer to ask the woman if he was watching pornography.
“We consider that the argument (of Sansone) has no value. If the trial court was wrong to determine that the CYS files involved exculpatory evidence is irrelevant,” ruled a three-member panel of the state High Court.
The High Court also noted that Vough had kindly prevented Sansone’s attorney from asking the woman about pornography in her testimony.
