Jul. 11—WILKES-BARRE — A former Luzerne Borough man who solicited a woman to purchase firearms that were reported missing from the evidence locker room at the Luzerne Borough Police Department was sentenced in Luzerne County Court Tuesday.

President Judge Michael T. Vough sentenced Donald Myles Cool, 27, to two-to-four years in state prison on three counts of criminal solicitation to commit false written statements on firearm applications. Cool pled guilty to the charges Feb. 6.

Cool’s sentence imposed by Vough will begin once he completes a two-to-four year stint on similar offenses in Monroe County.

Court records say Cool solicited Elizabeth Ann Delong, 38, to purchase 19 firearms from licensed firearm dealers in Nanticoke and Wyoming in 2020.

Cool is a convicted felon prohibited from owning, carrying and possessing firearms, court records say.

Cool was arrested by Pocono Mountain Regional Police Department on March 3, 2021, on charges of illegally possessing firearms.

The investigation in Monroe County revealed Cool received the firearms that were purchased by Delong who lived with him on Vaughn Street.

Luzerne Borough police reportedly seized the illegally purchased firearms from the apartment of Cool and Delong in 2021.

As the investigation continued, county detectives working with the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives executed a search warrant at the Luzerne Borough Police Department in early June 2022, seeking 17 firearms.

None were seized by detectives and agents, according to an inventory receipt with the search warrant.

District Attorney Sam Sanguedolce could not be reached for comment to determine if the firearms were found.

Delong pled guilty to criminal conspiracy to illegally possess a firearm and was sentenced on Nov. 28, to one year probation.

Despite an argument presented by Karisa M. Nanticoke’s lawyer for her to remain in the community under house arrest, Justice Kathleen Baker would not agree and, instead, sent Nanticoke to prison for five years.

Article content

“There was a substantial quantity of just about the worst drug on the market that’s leaving a trail of death and destruction in this community,” Baker said.

“Fentanyl trafficking and addiction is causing substantial problems here in the Brantford community where we have one of the highest rates of hospitalizations and overdoses in the province, and indeed, in the country.”

The judge said that means the “moral culpability” of anyone trafficking in fentanyl is very high.

Nanticoke was one of seven people arrested on Jan. 6, 2021 by Six Nations Police during a raid at a Pine Crescent home in Ohsweken.

SEAFORD, Del.- “We’re very proud of our town, proud of our history, and proud of where we’re headed. This is a big day for us,” Mayor Genshaw said.

Saturday was a celebration of the Nanticoke River along with food, games, and a variety of vendors as the annual Nanticoke Riverfest made a big return to downtown Seaford. “You’ll see as you walk downtown that there are local businesses inside and outside the city limits as well as local personnel selling their own crafts and offerings,” Nanticoke Riverfest Chairwoman Katie Hickey said.

Hickey says what makes this event special is that its 100% locally driven. “All of our entertainment is actually local bands, we get local entertainment for our children’s area, and all of our vendors we try to support locally,” Hickey said.

Seaford Mayor David Genshaw says with the extra foot traffic in town, the event is also an opportunity to showcase all the new things Seaford has to offer. “Today, some people are seeing shops that they may not have known existed. It a great place for our local shop owners to get out and mingle with the crowd and invite them in,” Mayor Genshaw said.

Now in its 28th year, organizers say it takes quite the manpower to make this event possible. “This isn’t run by city government, this is volunteers. Our fire department is out here,  police department, elected and city employees, our downtown association, and then people come from all over the place,” Mayor Genshaw said.

“We love seeing people come out. People are very excited to come down and it’s just grown ever since,” Hickey said.

Seaford High School students also got the opportunity to participate in the Race-A-Cop competition for a chance to win a scholarship.

Jul. 6—Electronic games seized from taverns in Edwardsville, Nanticoke and Wilkes-Barre several years ago by the Pennsylvania Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement will be returned, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled Thursday.

The 12 page ruling by the state appellate court upheld an opinion by Luzerne County Judge Fred A. Pierantoni III that compelled the return of electronic games to Pinnacle Amusements LLC.

BLCE appealed Pierantoni’s opinion to the Commonwealth Court that agreed with the Luzerne County judge.

State police with the BLCE conducted an undercover investigation of gaming machines in taverns, seizing several from Swizzle Sticks in Edwardsville, Park Market Six Packs to Go in Nanticoke and Anthracite Newsstand in Wilkes-Barre in 2019 and 2020.

The machines were considered gambling devices as they were deemed games of chance rather than skill.

The Commonwealth’s Court opinion is another win for the electronic skill game industry as there have been other challenges to the seizure of machine games in other counties.

Using Pierantoni’s opinion, the appellate court determined the games were more skill than chance as it involved a secondary game called “Follow the Banana.”

Follow the Banana has its own rules relying upon a player’s skill than chance at winning, the appellate court ruled.

The gaming machines, manufactured by Banilla Games, Inc., are “nudge” or “hot swap” games, where a player inserts cash and received digital credits on the machine.

The player selects a theme to play, wager an amount, and spins reels. Once the reels stop, the nudge player can rotate or nudge the reels to attempt to align them in a winning pattern.

The hot swap can substitute or swap one of the reel symbols with a symbol held in a pool outside the reels.

If a player was not able to create a winning pattern, the games present an on-screen option to engage in a secondary round play called…
