No Comments on Nanticoke Man Slapped with 78-Month Sentence for Major Fentanyl Operation

SCRANTON, PA — A Nanticoke, Pennsylvania resident, 32-year-old Dario George, has been sentenced to a stern 78 months in prison. The sentence came down on Tuesday, March 5, 2024, from U.S. District Court Judge Malachy Mannion, for the charge of possession with intent to distribute more than 40 grams of fentanyl.

George had previously pleaded guilty to distributing between 280 grams and 400 grams of the deadly opioid fentanyl in the Luzerne County area over the course of 2021 and 2022. United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam revealed these details, shedding light on the severity of George’s operation.

The charges hinged on an investigation during which investigators made four separate purchases of fentanyl directly from George. Then, on May 19, 2022, the authorities obtained a search warrant for George’s residence in Nanticoke. The search unearthed a staggering 30,000 individual bags of fentanyl, alongside additional amounts of heroin and cocaine, $8,098 in U.S. currency, and drug packaging materials.

This large-scale operation was brought down thanks to the diligent work of the Pennsylvania State Police, the Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General Bureau of Narcotics Investigation, and the FBI Safe Streets Task Force. Assistant United States Attorney Robert J. O’Hara expertly prosecuted the case, leading to this significant sentence.

The case highlights the ongoing battle against drug distribution, particularly the deadly opioid fentanyl, and the commitment of local and federal agencies to keep Pennsylvania communities safe.

Popular kielbasa store damaged by fire in Nanticoke

No Comments on Popular kielbasa store damaged by fire in Nanticoke

Sep. 28—NANTICOKE — Mark Tarnowski hopes to be back in business sooner rather than later after a fire severely damaged his kielbasa store and his daughter’s hair salon business early Wednesday morning.

If the building at 14 E. Union St. can’t be salvaged, Tarnowski — owner of Glen Lyon Bros. Kielbasa — said he’ll have his food truck parked in the driveway selling his popular and well-enjoyed sausage.

“Honestly, I don’t know what we’re going to do,” Tarnowski said while standing in front of his business with his family. “If we can’t get up and running, I’ll have the food truck parked here.”

Nanticoke City firefighters along with firefighters from neighboring municipalities responded to the building at about 2:30 a.m. Flames spread to an adjacent vacant house at 20-22 E. Union St. and heat damaged the exterior siding at 28 E. Union St., which is occupied.

Tarnowski said he has been in business at the East Union Street location for 15 years, as his family has been making kielbasa since the 1940s.

Tarnowski said they were smoking kielbasa for their stand at the Bloomsburg Fair and his son, Erik, went to the store to turn off the smoker at 2:30 a.m.

“We were making kielbasa sticks last night, cleaned up, did the dishes and set the alarm to turn off the smoker,” Tarnowski said. “When my son went to check on the smoker, he found it collapsed. It just started to spread from there.”

No injuries were reported. A state police fire marshal has been called in to investigate the cause.

Tarnowski makes kielbasa in the rear of the building, as his daughter has a hair salon business in front.

Firefighters from Hanover Township, Newport Township, Plymouth, Kingston and Avoca assisted Nanticoke City firefighters.

The number of games that went down to the wire, or were close late in the fourth quarter should have been enough to keep fans entertained enough to want to head to Mohegan Sun Arena beginning today as teams compete for a district championship.
