Luzerne County Man Sentenced To 42 Months’ Imprisonment For Covid-Relief And Credit Card Fraud, And Identity Theft Offenses

SCRANTON- The United States Attorney’s Office for the Middle District of Pennsylvania announced today that Reynard Lewis, age 30, formerly of Nanticoke, Pennsylvania, was sentenced by United States District Judge Robert D. Mariani to 42 months of imprisonment, for wire fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft offenses.

According to United States Attorney Gerard M. Karam, Lewis and his coconspirators used stolen identities to create forged identification documents and credit and debit cards.  The conspirators used those forged items and stolen identities to open bank accounts, apply for lines of credit, and obtain retail merchandise.  The conspirators also used the stolen identities to apply for multiple COVID-19 pandemic relief loans issued under the Small Business Administration’s Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), including by submitted false federal tax documentation.  The conspirators allegedly received over $100,000 in pandemic stimulus funds.

The PPP is designed to help small businesses facing financial difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic.  Funded by the March 2020 CARES Act, PPP funds are offered in forgivable loans, provided that certain criteria are met, including use of the funds for employee payroll, mortgage interest, lease, and utilities expenses.

Lewis previously was charged in a criminal complaint and arrested on September 16, 2022.  He has remained in detention since his arrest.  Lewis’s alleged coconspirator, Robert Brownstein, age 51, of Scranton, Pennsylvania, was previously charged in a criminal information with wire fraud conspiracy and aggravated identity theft.

The case was investigated by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office, and the Pottsville Bureau of Police. Assistant U.S. Attorney Phillip J. Caraballo is prosecuting the case.

On May 17, 2021, the Attorney General established the COVID-19 Fraud Enforcement Task Force to marshal the resources of the Department of Justice in partnership with agencies across government to enhance efforts to combat and prevent pandemic-related…

H.S. Football: Old Forge escapes Nanticoke Area with touchdown on final play

NANTICOKE — The rare blue supermoon peaked over the Nanticoke treeline with the most inopportune timing. It was an ominous — if not too on the nose — sign that an upset victory over a football powerhouse might not come as easy for the upstart Trojans.

Disregarding any cosmic forces, the numbers looked fortuitous for the Nanticoke Area defense. After all, Old Forge had less than two minutes to travel more than four-fifths of the field for a touchdown. The Trojans’ defense held the Blue Devils to only three first downs, and Old Forge’s total yards hadn’t yet eclipsed the century mark.

Suddenly, an uncharacteristically sputtering Old Forge team suddenly seemed like the Old Forge of yore. The Blue Devils marched down the field with ease for a winning touchdown and extra point just as the scoreboard expired.

Nanticoke Area fell to Old Forge 14-13 in a mystifying final two minutes on Friday night.

“Being young is great because they are not smart enough to be worried and they’re not intimidated,” Old Forge coach Mike Schuback said. “That’s a heck of a football team they have over there in Nanticoke. They are big. They are physical.”

TJ DiMattia hit Joe Granko on a 9-yard quick slant for the game-tying touchdown. The final siren blared just as Granko powered his way across the goal line to even the score at 13 apiece. Old Forge kicker Isiah Rodriguez hit the winning extra point.

“I was wide open, but I got hit,” Granko said. “Somehow I hung onto it.”

After the Blue Devils moved into the red zone with ease thanks to an outstanding reception by Chris Rasmus, Nanticoke’s defense put them on the ropes with 23 seconds remaining. Seth Raymer and Jaidyn Johnson combined…

Field Artillery Takes Flight in Seaford

SEAFORD, Del. – At the American Legion Nanticoke Post 6 in Seaford, a 7,000 lb. field artillery piece has stood guar since 1931.

The piece is a 4.7″ Model of 1906, which was build around 1918.

“This artillery piece was used for training of our troops before they went over to Europe for World War One,” said Chuck Hales of Nanticoke Post 6.

The piece served the United States Army at the Aberdeen Proving Grounds until 1931 when the Army presented the piece to Nanticoke Post 6.

It has sat on the corner of North Front Street and Third Street for the past 92 years.

“She’s kind of fell into disrepair over the years and we just knew that we had to do something to get her looking good again so that’s what we are gonna do,” Hales said. Hales is directing a $4,000 project to restore the artillery piece.

On Thursday morning, a crane from Huston Crane lifted the 2½ ton barrel and carriage on to a flatbed truck. The truck was taking them to Eddie Callaway in Mardela Springs, Md. to clean and repaint them in Army-spec olive green.

The wooden wheels, which were removed earlier, are at A&A Carriage in New Holland, Pa. for restoration work.

For the American Legion, having a World War I piece on post is an important symbol of the organization’s history.

“The Legion started at the end of World War I. Teddy Roosevelt, Jr. was a Colonel at the time, and they got in Paris, France, and actually the first Legion post, Post One Europe, is in Paris,” said Roy Lamberton. Lamberton is a historian and former commander of Nanticoke Post 6.

Nanticoke Post 6 expects work on the barrel and carriage to be complete within the next two weeks, and for the wheels to be completed within the next two months….
