Schuylkill County prosecutors on March 8 withdrew 11 charges they had filed against a Pottsville man as the result of an alleged incident in April 2013 in Minersville.
Robert D. Rose, 55, had been charged with four counts of simple assault, two each of intimidating a witness or victim, terroristic threats and harassment and one of possessing instrument of crime.
Minersville police had charged him with committing those crimes on April 8.
President Judge William E. Baldwin signed an order allowing prosecutors to withdraw the charges and directing Rose to pay the costs of the case.
Also in the county court, Judge James P. Goodman sentenced Rhiannon L. Meyer, 35, of Shenandoah Heights, to serve six to 23 months in prison and undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation.
Goodman imposed the sentence after revoking Meyer's probation in two cases. Prosecutors alleged she violated that probation by failing to report to her supervising officer, moving without permission, refusing to take a drug test and not making court-ordered payments.
Meyer originally pleaded guilty on Aug. 14, 2013, to a charge of carrying a firearm without a license in one case and a charge of theft in another, with prosecutors withdrawing a charge of receiving stolen property in the second case. At that time, Goodman placed Meyer on probation for 23 months and also sentenced her to pay costs and $100 to the Criminal Justice Enhancement Account.
Shenandoah police alleged Meyer carried a firearm on Jan. 8, 2012, in the borough, while West Mahanoy Township police alleged she committed theft on July 13, 2012, in the township.
On Wednesday, an Auburn man returned to prison after county Judge John E. Domalakes revoked his probation in a drug-related case.
Michael J. Moczulak, 28, must serve three to 12 months in prison, Domalakes decided.
Domalakes revoked Moczulak's probation after the defendant admitted violating it by traveling without permission and failing to report to his supervising officer.
Moczulak pleaded guilty on Feb. 26, 2009, to possession of drug paraphernalia. At that time, Domalakes sentenced him to serve 11 months probation consecutive to his current sentence and pay costs, a $100 fine, $100 to the Substance Abuse Education Fund, $50 to the CJEA and a $50 bench warrant fee, all of which he still must pay under the terms of Wednesday's sentence.
Pottsville police charged Moczulak with possessing drug paraphernalia on Jan. 20, 2008, in the city.
Domalakes revoked the parole of Patricia A. Krammes-Eiler, 51, of Minersville, but allowed her to enter the county pre-release program with mental health counseling instead of sending her behind bars.
Krammes-Eiler pleaded no contest on May 5, 2011, to two counts each of corruption of minors and selling or furnishing liquor to minors. At that time, Domalakes sentenced her to spend six to 23 months in prison and pay costs and $5,000 in fines.
Schuylkill Haven borough police charged Krammes-Eiler with corrupting the morals of, and providing liquor to, a minor on Feb. 2, 2012, in the borough.
Also on Wednesday, Goodman revoked the probation of Luis A. Haddock, 22, of Harrisburg, and sentenced him to time served to 23 months in prison.
Goodman revoked Haddock's probation after the defendant admitted violating it by smoking marijuana and not finishing his treatment.
Haddock pleaded guilty on Nov. 8, 2013, to simple assault, with prosecutors withdrawing a charge of harassment. At that time, Goodman sentenced him to serve 12 months on probation consecutive to his current sentence and pay costs.
Pottsville police charged Haddock with committing the assault on May 21, 2013, in the city.
