No Comments on Lyft driver charged with molesting unconscious passenger

A Lyft driver from Hazle Twp. has been charged with drugging and sexually assaulting a semiconscious man he picked up to give a ride on Tuesday evening, according to state police.

Edwin Valentin Perez, 39, of 1207 Four Seasons Court, is jailed on felony sexual assault charges following the encounter that allegedly took place in the area of 1030 W. Main St. around 5 p.m. Tuesday.

According to state police, Valentin Perez was working as a ride-share driver for Lyft when he picked up the male victim in Nanticoke.

While en route across the West Nanticoke Bridge to Plymouth Twp., Valentin Perez pulled out a small bottle with a black label and a lightning bolt on it, troopers said. The victim reported seeing two cotton balls in the bottle and then feeling like he was going unconscious, according to the complaint.

Troopers described the man as being intoxicated by an “inhalant-type substance.”

With the man incapacitated, Valentin Perez drove him to a dirt road in Plymouth Twp., police said.

Valentin Perez then proceeded to pull down the man’s pants, fondle him and then made the man perform oral sex on him, according to the complaint.

Eventually the victim said he wanted to leave and Valentin Perez then dropped him off at the Family Dollar in Plymouth, troopers said.

The victim reported the incident later Tuesday night, and troopers identified Valentin Perez because he had been involved in a similar incident in May.

In both cases, Valentin Perez was driving a red Toyota RAV-4, license plate LFK-1645, troopers said. Investigators said anyone who thinks they may have been similarly victimized should contact the Troop P Wilkes-Barre Criminal Investigation Unit at 570-822-5515.

Valentin Perez was arrested Wednesday and charged with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse of an unconscious person, sexual assault and false imprisonment.

Magisterial District Judge Kyle Halesey arraigned him on…

Tiny copper earring found buried on Outer Banks is new clue in search for Algonquian village

No Comments on Tiny copper earring found buried on Outer Banks is new clue in search for Algonquian village

A small copper earring unearthed during archaeological digs in search of the Native American village linked to the famed Lost Colony was “almost certainly” traded or gifted to the local tribe by Sir Walter Raleigh’s explorers, based on newly-released scientific tests.

Volunteer researchers found the ring and some shards of pottery last summer in archaeological pits at the Elizabethan Gardens on Roanoke Island near modern-day Manteo, North Carolina. The First Colony Foundation — a nonprofit dedicated to conducting archaeological and historical research on Roanoke Island — has been searching for the Algonquian village encountered during Sir Walter Raleigh’s first expedition to the New World 440 years ago.

“This is an amazing find with an intriguing story to tell,” said Eric Klingelhofer, the foundation’s vice president for research, who led the Elizabethan Gardens dig. “After lying hidden in the ground for more than four centuries, this piece of copper now confirms that we have indeed located the site of Roanoac, the Algonquian village that welcomed the first English explorers in 1584.”

An analysis conducted by Madison Accelerator Laboratory at James Madison University in Harrisonburg found that copper used to make the ring was of European origin, rather than from a North American source, the foundation said in a news release.

The Spanish and French, Klingelhofer said, were never close enough to Roanoke Island during 16th century expeditions to have left the ring at the village.

During the tribe’s first contact with English explorers Philip Amadas and Arthur Barlowe in 1584, the wife of the village chief treated the men to…
