Williamsport man convicted of 'wasp dope' county prison smuggle scheme

Williamsport, Pa. — A Williamsport man has been convicted of trying to have drugs smuggled into the Lycoming County Prison by mail. Authorities said Tyree Tyquan Moy, 41, sent a letter to his son instructing him to soak the paper in wasp spray so it could be mailed back into the prison. Inmates would then use the treated paper — a substance commonly known inside prisons as "wasp dope" — to get high. Moy stressed in the letter that his wife, the child’s mother, should not find it. She did. She turned the letter over to prison authorities, leading to the charges. Moy pleaded no contest to a first-degree misdemeanor of criminal attempt of bringing contraband into the prison and a first-degree misdemeanor of criminal solicitation or attempting to sell drugs at the prison. Each count carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $5,000 fine. Under the plea agreement, Moy faces three to 12 months on each count. Those sentences will run consecutively to any sentence he is currently serving. Moy is currently on probation and state parole. He is being held at a state correctional institution in Pennsylvania.

From trauma patient to peer: UPMC Williamsport survivor gives back

Muncy, Pa. — When Chad Barner, a Muncy resident, walks the halls of UPMC Williamsport each Wednesday, he isn’t simply making volunteer rounds. He’s retracing a journey that changed his life. In April 2024, Barner fell 15 feet from a ladder at his home, breaking nine ribs, his collarbone and shoulder and collapsing both lungs. After 28 years working for Verizon and routinely climbing poles without injury, an accident at home suddenly put him on the other side of trauma care. Barner was taken by ambulance to UPMC Williamsport, where his recovery included stays in the intensive care and step-down units and inpatient rehabilitation, followed by more than 10 months of outpatient therapy at the UPMC Rehabilitation Institute at the Eastern Lycoming YMCA. “The trauma team kept me breathing,” Barner said. “I figured if they were going to do that, I’d keep fighting. The staff here are very special.” Barner eventually returned to work and even climbed poles again, but lingering effects from his injuries led him to retire early. Around the same time, he found an unexpected new purpose. Kristy Teisher, expert discharge plan manager with Clinical Care Coordination at UPMC Williamsport, invited Barner to a Trauma Survivors Network

Accused killer paints himself as victim and protector in police interview played at trial

Williamsport, Pa. — Prosecutors zeroed in Friday on the long-dysfunctional relationship between an accused killer and his brother-in-law on the second day of the Cable Services murder trial in Lycoming County. During testimony, lawyers played the hourlong police interview in which shooter Kenneth Richard Michaels portrayed himself as both the victim of his brother-in-law, John Roskowski, and the man who spent decades holding the family and business together. Michaels, 68, of Montoursville, is charged with murder in the August 2023 shooting death of 69-year-old Roskowski. Roskowski was shot once in the abdomen in the lobby of a Cable Services building in Old Lycoming Township after walking into the building. Michaels admitted to the shooting, but claimed it was done in self-defense. In the interview with Detective Justin Segura of the Lycoming Regional Police Department, Michaels said, “Nobody has a good relationship with John.” He described how he bought out Roskowski’s shares in the company, ultimately paying more than he believed they were worth because he “wanted to be the good guy” and help the family. Michaels told Segura he had spent the last 40 years keeping the family together and “that’s what this is all about.” The day of the

Williamsport toy store opening shop number 'too' downtown

Williamsport, Pa. — A new Moose is just around the corner in downtown Williamsport. Moose Too, located at 343 Pine St., Williamsport, neighboring Pine Square, is holding a Grand Opening Party Nov. 13 from 5 to 8 p.m., and everyone is invited to come celebrate the child-like whimsy of adults. Moose Too, sister store to The Mulberry Moose on Mulberry Street, is designed for an older customer, early teen through adult. It has a more "grunge" atmosphere, and some products use some light profanity. The carefully curated collection is meant for laughs and good fun, but parents might want to be cautious with little ones. The Moose Too store will bring new and fun items such as collectable blind boxes, complex and simple puzzles, figure build-kits, stationary, and more! Whether someone is looking for funky socks or silly journals, the goal of the Moose's is to bring a sense of play to their customers. Five years ago, Nicole Desaulniers, owner of The Mulberry Moose toy store, moved to Williamsport to start a new chapter in her life. In early 2024, her idea for The Mulberry Moose was born, and by June, its doors opened at 423 Mulberry Street. The Williamsport

Polish Kielbasa Still Comes Off The Smokehouse Racks Every Week At This Pennsylvania Butcher Since 1940s

A small shop in coal country sells kielbasa in so many forms that it even turns it into dip. Then there are the bacon bombs. I’d call that a strong opening argument. Smoked rings share the counter with fresh links, jerky, kielbasa sticks, and homemade pierogies. Around Easter, the line can spill outside as families gather supplies for their holiday baskets.
