Loitering

MOUNT CARMEL - Borough Police Cpl. David Donkochik charged Levi L. Gray, 19, of 494 W. Saylor St., Atlas, and Justin M. Mackenzie, 19, of 344 S. Poplar St., Mount Carmel, with several charges following an incident on Mount Carmel Area School District grounds at 1:21 a.m. May 22.

Police reported in court documents the two individual were found hiding inside a school bus from police, who detected a strong odor of alcohol on the two men's breath.

The two men were charged with loitering and prowling at night, criminal trespass and underage drinking. The charges were filed with Magisterial District Judge Hugh Jones, of Mount Carmel, and preliminary hearings for both men were scheduled for Wednesday, June 26.

Multiple charges

ATLAS - Mount Carmel Township Police charged two people with separate offenses after the investigation into a dog attack at their residence on April 22.

Patrolman David J. Stamets reported in court documents that police were called to 456 E. Columbia Ave., the home of Edward K. Davis, 34, and Kenyatta R. Williams-Davis, 29, after a report that a dog left the yard and pinned a girl on the ground. Upon arrival, the dog could not be found and a neighbor told police the dog was taken back into the Davis' home.

Stamets spoke with a woman at the residence and asked to speak with Edward Davis. The woman became hostile with police, demanding a reason for the request, police said. When told it was about a loose dog, the woman told officers she owned the dog, too, but did not provide ID.

When Davis came to the door, the woman continued to yell and police eventually arrested her for persistent disorderly conduct. When they tried to take her into custody, the woman, identified as Williams-Davis, got away from police and went into the home. Once taken into custody and placed in the police vehicle, she began to knock on the window between the bar cages to the point where her skin was wearing from her knuckle.

While police took her into custody, Cpl. David Donkochik observed a glass pipe with burnt residue inside of it that smelled of marijuana. Davis told police the pipe was his.

Stamets charged Davis with possession with intent to use drug paraphernalia and cited him for confinement and housing of dogs not part of a kennel.

Williams-Davis was charged with misdemeanor counts of resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. Preliminary hearings for both individuals will be held Wednesday, June 26, before Magisterial District Judge Hugh Jones, of Mount Carmel.

McGinley, at 8:14 p.m. April 26. The charges were filed with Magisterial District Judge Hugh Jones, of Mount Carmel, and a preliminary hearing is scheduled for Wednesday, June 26.

MOUNT CARMEL - Jennifer Yost, 40, of 217 S. Walnut St., Mount Carmel, was charged with driving under the influence, giving unsworn falsification to authorities, providing false reports incriminating another person, accidents involving damage to an unattended vehicle or property and reckless driving after she allegedly told police she was not driving a vehicle involved in a hit-and-run accident with a fire hydrant on Sixth and Chestnut streets in Mount Carmel April 8.

The charges were filed with Magisterial District Judge Hugh Jones, of Mount Carmel and a preliminary hearing is scheduled of June 26.
