2 Face Charges In Separate Incidents
Two people recently faced charges in District Judge Phillip Sweet's courtroom in separate incidents. Each was issued a summons. According to court documents, they are:
Daniel Paxson, 19, of 6 W. Water St., charged by borough police with harassment after allegedly leaving harassing messages on Kelsey Johnson's cell phone on June 17.
Jaret L. Hall, 36, of 54 Wolf Run Road, charged by state police with driving under the influence of intoxicants on Wolf Run Road in Delmar Township May 23.
3rd Man Charged In Burglaries
A third person was charged with burglary and related counts in connection with two incidents in Tioga and Bradford counties.
Trevor D. Heck, 19, of 411 School Road, Apt. 2, Tioga, faces charges of burglary, theft and criminal conspiracy to commit burglary for his part in the thefts of two ATVs, narcotic painkillers and a .22 caliber rifle from properties in Wells Township in Bradford County and Tioga Township in Tioga County, according to documents filed with District Judge James Carlson's office.
According to state police, the incidents occurred between April 6 and April 13.
Heck was released on $30,000 bail. His preliminary hearing was Monday.
The other two charged were Troy C. Adriance, 18, of 58 E. Lawrence Road, Lawrenceville, and Gregory A. Heck, 20, of 77 Creek View Drive, Columbia Crossroads. Police did not state if the two Hecks are related.
Their preliminary hearings were set for Wednesday.
Woman Accused Of 'Poking' Motorist
Marlene S. Parthemer, 56, of 27 Robinson Drive was charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, false imprisonment and harassment following a May 23 incident in Richmond Township.
State police charged Parthemer after she attempted to pass a vehicle operated by Paul Shaw as he traveled toward the borough on Brooklyn Street, where the speed limit is 25 mph. Once the two cars reached a parking area at the end of the street, police say Parthemer got out of her vehicle and began poking Shaw in the chest, accusing him of driving drunk, and ordered a borough police officer on the scene to arrest him.
The officer said Shaw did not appear to be driving under the influence and ordered Parthemer to "go home."
When she persisted, she was arrested and charged. She was released on $20,000 bail and waived her preliminary hearing. Her county arraignment was Monday.
Looking To Expand Unemployment Benefits
The state house labor relations committee has approved legislation, which would extend unemployment benefits for an additional seven weeks.
The bill would use nearly $145 million dollars in federal stimulus funding to help out about 57,000 Pennsylvanians who are in danger of exhausting their unemployment benefits while they continue to look for work.
The legislation will now go to the full state house for its consideration.
Unemployment benefits for those residents will expire within the next few weeks.
