DUI charges filed

COAL TOWNSHIP - Ariel Parker, 26, of 1504 W. Lynn St., was charged with three counts of driving under the influence following the investigation into a Sept. 24 motorcycle crash.

At the hospital, Coal Township Police Patrolman Joshua Wynn asked Parker to give a sample for chemical blood testing, but Parker refused. Wynn obtained a search warrant for Parker's medical record, which showed his blood alcohol level at the time was .296 percent and he tested positive results for amphetamines and benzodiazepines.

The charges were filed with Magisterial District Judge John Gembic III, of Shamokin. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Tuesday, Feb. 25.

Firearms violation

MOUNT CARMEL TOWNSHIP - Police charged Ronald J. Ramsdale, 32, of 2035 Walnut St., Ashland with a gun violation and drug charges following a traffic stop on Route 901, across from Patterson Block Oct. 27.

When Filarski asked him to exit his vehicle, Ramsdale told him he was carrying a firearm, a 9mm high point gun, on his left hip, with a round in the chamber. Ramsdale failed field sobriety tests and refused to take a chemical blood test. An inventory of the vehicle found plastic bags in the glove compartment with a substance inside later identified to be crack cocaine, along with a smoking pipe and other items.

Police charged Ramsdale with firearms not to be carried without a license, possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance, driving under the influence of a controlled substance or a combination of drugs and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.

When police arrived, Boylan was observed screaming at her neighbor and grabbing the person's arm.
