The council also spoke on the decision to place City of DuBois Police Chief Blaine Clark on paid administrative leave. “City Council received a complaint, a written complaint against Chief Clark. In response to that, they placed him on administrative leave with pay. They’ve referred the matter to the District Attorney’s office. They’re conducting an internal investigation, I’m helping with that investigation. That’s really all we’re going to talk about right now,” Breth said.

So while a Game Commission officer may, under the Open Fields Doctrine, go onto some private property, it does not give them carte blanch to go onto all of your private property. Where they can go without probable cause depends on how the court defines curtilage. Curtilage is generally considered to be your home and the area of land attached; however, what is or is not curtilage is often determined on a case by case basis. In the Russo case, a bait pile was found by the Game Commission officers approximately 90 feet from Russo’s cabin. The court found that the area where the bait pile was found was not considered curtilage in that case.

I believe its a fantasy based store that sells medieval related items like knives, swords, armor and you might find something that can kill a dragon.

Wouldn't surprise me if the two wastes were out on bail for previous felonies in The city of brotherly love.

Sounds like the counsel agreed to pay up to $10,000 attorney fees to anyone that's been subpoenaed to the grand jury. That also includes any subpoenaed volunteer fireman. The current solicitor felt it would be unwise to let them be questioned without talking to an attorney first. Sounds like people are getting scared. People who have done something wrong would want to talk to an attorney. People who are protecting important people who have done something wrong would want to talk to an attorney. People who have done nothing wrong and aren't preceding anyone don't need to talk to an attorney. Just tell the truth.

"while someone else pays for my legal representation. " Not to mention health insurance being paid for too.

Police do have power state wide but I believe the also have to follow the guidelines listed in title 42, section 8953 which is the statewide municipal police jurisdiction. The open field doctrine may also apply to police but the Pa state police don't abuse the power or even take advantage of using the power unlike the game wardens.

There are exceptions to an officer having police powers outside of their jurisdiction. Some off the top of my head are if the officer is outside his jurisdiction but believes a felony was commited, or the officer is in hot pursuit, or the officer has permission from the chief of that jurisdiction. As far as the game commision: according to state law officers do not need a warrant, the property owner's permission, or even probable cause; they may enter private property and surveil hunters for potential violations of hunting laws, without restriction. Any landowners who refuse the officer's request can face up to a $1,500 fine and three months in jail. There is a law suit going on right now in Pa regarding this issue with a camp suing the state in Clearfield county.

This guy would have been a prime candidate for Dubois council. DUBOIS – Former CEO of Christ the King Manor was sentenced yesterday to 9 months to 5 years in state prison on felony charges of Theft by Unlawful Taking. 65-year old Sam Zaffuto pled guilty and paid restitution of over $70,000. Zaffuto was charged in 2022 for stealing nearly $170,000 while employed at Christ the King. It was determined that he fraudulently diverted and misappropriated funds to a charity account and used them for personal reasons. Some of the money was outside the statute of limitations so he is liable for $70,000. Christ the King has filed a civil lawsuit.

What a tangled web the spiders weave

According to Jen Jackson, city council members get Health insurance and most of their deductible paid for by the city with your tax dollars. The aren't even employees of the city. She said Shannon Gabriel is the only one that doesn't accept the insurance. Interesting.

Sounds like the sly foxes are trying to infiltrate both hen houses.

Need all three in to have a chance at making changes.

State police out of Clearfield were called to the scene. According to Coroner Kim Shaffer-Snyder, the cause of the woman’s death has yet to be determined.

Thanks for the info, I didn't know that.

I found it interesting that john Coleman the car guy, a popular car salesman at Kelly Chrysler jeep in Brookville for 23 years, just this week started working at stoltz.

Not sure. The skeletal remains were from a Phillipsburg man but I don't think he was elderly.

Yes, this headline was on gantdaily about three years ago. It's in the general area. BREAKING: Skeletal Remains Found in Shiloh Identified as Missing Philipsburg Man by Gant Team Thursday, January 16, 2020 in Local News, Top Stories

Tony either lying or is incompetent. Sounds like Gabriel Is only council member who should stay.

Tony could have graciously paid herms legal fees out of her own overflowing bank accounts. Instead, she thinks its better to use the money from the peon taxpayers.

Good question. I haven't been able to get on pennwoods in weeks.

It sounds like she was issued a subpoena. That would mean to me that she had information the AG thought could be helpful in the case on the AG's side. As the case progressed the AG decided her testimony wasn't needed to prove the case in the grand jury investigation. Which it wasn't because criminal charges were then filed. If her testimony went against what the AG wanted to prove the AG wouldn't have given her a subpoena to begin with and the defense will subpoena her to help herm's cause at the trial.

Solicitor is blowing smoke. Only particular types of items can be taken in a search warrant. Only items related to the investigation and a judge signs and approves the search warrant before the search. Each item that is taken is listed on a receipt. The owner of the items taken gets A copy of the receipt as does the judge that approved it.

Usually a person sings after they have been charged in order to lessen their own charges. In this case so far, herm would be the one possibly warming up his vocal chords. Its possible the AG decided what ever she would testify to wouldn't help the case in the grand jury investigation. Now the grand jury investigation and the criminal investigation are two different things. A grand jury decides if charges should be brought on someone. If the grand jury feels enough evidence exists for charges then the criminal process starts that could end in a trial. So she could end up testifying at the trial.
