ATLAS - Mount Carmel Township Police are warning area residents of a potential telephone scam.

Police Chief Brian Hollenbush said a telephone call is being placed from the number (206)855-3323 and the caller claims to be calling from the "grants department" in Washington, D.C.

The caller says the call recipient has won a $7,000 grant and must send $315 to the Federal Reserve Bank in New York, Hollenbush said.

A township resident who received such a call said the caller hung up when asked if the call was a scam, Hollenbush said.

Hollenbush urges all area residents to not give personal or financial information over the phone. Anyone who receives a call they believe is a scam is urged to contact the police.

Man attacks cop

EAST CAMERON TOWNSHIP - A Kulpmont man faces charges after resisting arrest and attacking a police officer along Gap Road on Oct. 11.

According to court documents filed by Trooper Samuel Edwards of the Pennsylvania State Police, Stonington Barracks, he was dispatched to Gap Road at 2:30 a.m. for a person resisting arrest. Upon arrival, Edwards spoke to Butler Township Police Patrolman Shawn Butler, who said he encountered the individual, Eric J. Janoka, 32, of 1328 Scott St., Kulpmont, sitting on the guardrail naked. When Butler approached Janoka, the Kulpmont man allegedly pounced on the officer and a struggle ensued.

After being taken into custody, Janoka began apologizing and told officers he was under the influence of a bath salt and meth mixture and was hiding a bag of heroin in his rectum, according to police.

Edwards took custody of the suspect after a search showed that he was wanted on a warrant from the Northumberland County Sheriff's Office. Janoka was taken to Geisinger-Shamokin Area Community Hospital, where a medical exam was conducted, but no substances were found on his person.

Janoka was charged with misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and open lewdness and was cited for harassment, disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. A preliminary hearing is set for Wednesday, Dec. 12, before Magisterial District Judge Hugh Jones, of Mount Carmel.
