About 9:55 p.m., police were talking to a man on the third floor of a house at 302 Mahantongo St.
A man walking on the street, Leo Salle, said moments earlier he heard loud music coming from the house and he said neighbors said they saw a man, Arthur Johns, in his underwear on the roof.
"Arthur, how are you doing? Can you come down?" a Pottsville police officer asked.

He said Johns would be charged with a summary disorderly conduct charge for the loud music.
