Son charged with matricide in Plymouth

Mar. 14—NANTICOKE — Believing he was dying and that his girlfriend was unfaithful, Elliot Steed stabbed his mother, Ann Marie Murphy, to death at her home on Gardner Street, Plymouth, according to court documents filed Thursday.

Steed, 36, of Mill Street, Wilkes-Barre, then allegedly stole Murphy’s car and drove to Flemington, NJ, where he checked himself into Hunterdon Medical Center and claimed his family was trying to kill him.

Pennsylvania State Police detectives in Wilkes-Barre and Luzerne County charged Steed with murder and robbery nearly three months after Murphy, 66, was found dead in her home at 233 Gardner St. on Dec. 20, 2023.

Steed had been jailed by Wilkes-Barre police on charges of terroristic threats, simple assault and illegal possession of a firearm, alleging he threatened his girlfriend on Dec. 19, 2023, at their Mill Street home.

Steed was arraigned by District Judge Donald Whittaker in Nanticoke and jailed without bail at the county correctional facility. Steed was represented at the arraignment by attorney Demetrius Fannick.

“We really don’t have a motive,” said Anthony Ross, Luzerne County’s first assistant district attorney. “The matter is under investigation. The suspect has made some statements, so we are reviewing those statements. The investigation continues and at this time the suspect is charged with murder.”

Murphy was found deceased on the second floor of her home just after 7 a.m. on December 20, 2023, by her son, Darrell Steed.

Darrell Steed then called 911, prompting a response from Plymouth police and state police.

Court records show Darrell Steed told investigators that his brother, Elliot Steed, had acted crazy when Elliot Steed blamed his family for trying to unfaithfully kill him and his girlfriend.

Darrell Steed went to his mother’s home to check on her after Elliot Steed posted a disturbing message…

One dead, another hurt in Susquehanna County fire

Crews responded to the fire just south of Montrose around 5:30 a.m. Monday.

SUSQUEHANNA COUNTY, Pa. — UPDATE: State police fire marshals say they’ve been unable to determine what caused the fire because of the extensive damage. However, the fire is not considered suspicious. 

One person is dead after a fire in Susquehanna County.

The flames started around 5:30 a.m. Monday at a home along Ainey Road in Brooklyn Township, south of Montrose.

Jack Sterling lives next door.

“I woke up this morning in the house with a big explosion. My hearing is bad. I knew if I could hear it without my hearing aids, it was bad,” Sterling said.

Sterling said he came outside to find his neighbor’s house filled with flames. A burned woman made her way into his yard. A man inside died.

Hop Bottom Fire Chief Pete Mecca said flames were shooting from the back of the home when he arrived.

“It had a pretty good start, being a mobile home with an addition over it. The steel roof kept the heat inside.”

And there were complications, including vehicles parked in the yard that also caught fire.

With no fire hydrants in this rural area, firefighters laid hundreds of feet of hose from a creek to get water onto the burning house.

“It was full of fire when we got here, so there is no way we can determine where it started offhand,” Chief Mecca said.

Several companies were called in. No firefighters were hurt.

State police fire marshals said extensive damage prevents them from determining a cause. It is not considered suspicous.

PIAA wrestling: Lehman’s Morris, Nanticoke’s Ripka reach girls quarterfinals

Victories in the Round of 16 for Lake-Lehman’s Alahna Morris and Nanticoke Area’s Sierra Ripka highlighted the day for the Wyoming Valley Conference as the PIAA Wrestling championships opened Thursday at the Giant Center in Hershey.

Four other WVC girls wrestlers will be back on the mats when the first round of consolations picks up on Friday morning, while Morris and Ripka will head to the quarterfinals and remain in the hunt for a state championship.

On the boys’ side, all three WVC wrestlers that qualified for the Class 2A and 3A tournaments were knocked out of championship contention, and only Dallas’ Lucas Tirpak remains alive in the consolation bracket after picking up a win in the first round of consolations on Friday night.

Two weekends ago at the District 2 tournament, Morris etched her name in the books as the first WVC wrestler to win a District 2 Girls wrestling title. In Hershey on Thursday, she did it again, picking up a victory in the Round of 16 to become the first WVC wrestler to win a Girls state tournament match.

Morris went up 2-0 in the first period after a takedown and held on from there, holding off Pine Grove’s Eva Kurtz to win by a 2-0 decision and advance to the 148-pound quarterfinals, where she’ll take on Charlotte Gilfoil from Central Dauphin.

Ripka would follow suit shortly after in the 170-pound field, in dominant fashion: Ripka pinned her opponent in just 42 seconds to earn her spot in the quarterfinals to face Big Spring’s Sarah Lynn.

Wyoming Valley West’s Isabell Seip and Brooke Long, Crestwood’s Rachel Shoemaker and Hazleton Area’s Miah Molinaro were all defeated in their Round of 16 matches and will drop into the first round of…

Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge plans dominate first Luzerne County manager town hall meeting

The Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge dominated Luzerne County Manager Romilda Crocamo’s first town hall meeting Thursday night at Nanticoke City Hall, with questions about which solution will be selected.

County officials are exploring options for the county-owned span over the Susquehanna River, which connects Nanticoke and Plymouth Township, because the bridge was downgraded to a 15-ton weight limit in 2020 due to issues found in an inspection.

The partial replacement recommended by Alfred Benesch and Associates would cost an estimated $39.6 million. The company was hired by the county to study the bridge and determine the “best and most economical option.”

This plan would replace the three truss spans with four new steel bridge spans on new piers, replace the beams and deck on the 21 approaching spans and repair existing piers and abutments. The bridge would be widened to 32 feet and equipped with an added right turning lane onto Route 11. These additions could accommodate potential future industrial development in the area of the bridge, Benesch representatives have said.

The top of piers would be widened to support extra beam lines needed for the wider deck.

Some local officials and residents are pushing for full replacement, which would cost $64 million based on the engineer’s estimate.

The county has access to $55 million from casino gambling revenue, which means another $9 million would have to be found if a council majority chooses a new bridge.

Some council members also have pointed out that using the entire $55 million casino-funded infrastructure pool on the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke bridge would leave no funds to cover other roadway projects that had been on the county’s list for completion if funds remained.

County officials said the partial replacement option recommended by Benesch addresses the same safety…

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

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.
