Drivers may experience some delays while driving through Nanticoke as improvements are being made to Main Street.

NANTICOKE, Pa. — If you’re driving down Main Street in Nanticoke, you may have to pause on your way through the city as work is underway for improvements here.

Work is taking place on West and East Main Street in Nanticoke between Market and Walnut Streets.

In addition to some stormwater improvements, new concrete curbs, ADA Handicap Ramps, highway lighting and signals will be added.

“It helps like the elders, and you know, just normal people every day in the walk of life too, you know there’s improvements coming everywhere,” said John Dorshefski III of Nanticoke. “You know, this is just the start of the transition.”

Benches, trash cans, and decorative crosswalks are on the list too.

“Yeah, yeah, that’s fine. I’ve always, I’ve always liked Nanticoke,” said Dorothy Blount, Nanticoke.

Whether folks are waiting for the bus here in Nanticoke or are taking a stroll down the street, they believe the work being done here will contribute to growth in this area and hopefully bring more businesses along with it.

“I mean, everybody’s been going through some, you know, ever since COVID,” said Dorshefski. “But now that we got a handle on things, it’s going to be a blessing seeing everything get revitalized, you know, in the area. Yeah.”

PennDOT hopes to have all the work for the streetscape project in Nanticoke finished in the fall of 2024.

Kittle

Corey James Kittle accused of eluding capture by running through house

HANOVER TWP. — A Nanticoke man wanted on an arrest warrant charging him with initiating a pursuit with Hanover Township police that involved a crash on July 16 was arraigned Friday.

Corey James Kittle, 30, of West Broad Street, was stopped for driving a Ford Fusion that had an expired registration in the area of West Division Street and Carey Avenue, according to court records.

Kittle stopped in a parking lot but sped away traveling on Carey Avenue to West End Road where he illegally passed a vehicle and crashed head-on with an oncoming Dodge Ram pickup truck at Lyndwood Avenue, court records say.

Police in court records say Kittle continued to flee passing through stop signs on Lyndwood Avenue and Plymouth Avenue into Wilkes-Barre.

After the vehicle turned onto Oak Street in Wilkes-Barre, Kittle and a passenger abandoned the vehicle and allegedly kicked in a door and ran through a residence.

While township police were on Oak Street searching for Kittle, Wilkes-Barre police responded to a suspicious person at a residence on nearby Dagobert Street.

A surveillance camera at the Dagobert Street residence recorded a man, identified as Kittle, entering a garage and fleeing out a rear door through the back yard, court records say.

Kittle was charged with two counts each of criminal trespass and criminal mischief, and one count each of flight to avoid apprehension, fleeing or attempting to elude police, reckless endangerment, accidents involving damage to attended vehicle, driving with a suspended license and 10 vehicle and traffic citations.

Kittle was arraigned by District Judge David Barilla of Forty Fort and jailed at the…

NANTICOKE — A 16-year-old boy from Wyoming Borough was charged as an adult in the attempted homicide of a 14-year-old boy in Nanticoke on Friday.

John Carl Pearce IV, of Wyoming Avenue, is accused of leaning out a passenger side window of a stolen Hyundai Elantra and fired multiple rounds in the area of West Green and Maple streets at about 7:15 p.m., according to court records.

A 14-year-old boy who was walking from a park where he played basketball was struck in the head and ankle and was transported to Geisinger Medical Center in Danville, Nanticoke City Police said.

Pearce was identified as the alleged gunman after investigators with the Pennsylvania State Police at Wilkes-Barre obtained video footage from locations in Nanticoke, Shickshinny and Larksville.

After the shooting, the Hyundai Elantra was set ablaze in the area of Eno and Church streets in Plymouth, court records say.

State police charged Pearce with two counts of aggravated assault and one count each of criminal attempt to commit criminal homicide, possession of a firearm by a minor, criminal conspiracy to commit arson, criminal conspiracy to commit reckless burning, criminal conspiracy to commit theft, criminal conspiracy to commit criminal mischief and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle.

Pearce was arraigned before Luzerne County President Judge Michael T. Vough early Wednesday morning and jailed without bail as he was deemed a flight risk and a danger to the community.

According to the criminal complaint:

A woman from Nanticoke reported her silver Hyundai Elantra was stolen from her East Union Street residence on July 19.

Two days later on Friday, July 21, Nanticoke City Police responded to gunfire at West Green and Maple streets where they found the…
