Man accused of stalking Lycoming County woman, posting her intimate images

Williamsport, Pa. — A Scranton man is accused of contacting a woman about 250 times, including posting intimate images of her online and sending one to her employer, according to court documents. John Joseph King, 28, allegedly made the contacts through phone calls, texts, voicemails, emails, canceled Cash App transactions, and social media posts, tags, and messages between November 2025 and August this year, according to Detective David Fizzano of the Lycoming County District Attorney’s Office. King was charged May 28 for violating the protection from abuse order by sending harassing messages, according to court documents. Some of the messages allegedly referenced suicide, according to court documents. “I’m going to kill myself on your birthday,” one read. Another read, “I promise you, [the victim], I won’t be alive much longer.” King allegedly used blocked and unknown phone numbers, and the aliases Daniel Benson, Joel Benton, Itsame, and Mike Smith to reach the woman, according to Fizzano. He also allegedly created social media profiles impersonating the woman and used them to post intimate images of her alongside sexually explicit, degrading captions written as if in her voice, according to court documents. King allegedly put an intimate image on a birthday post

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.

K-9 sniffs out cocaine in Williamsport man's pockets, oxy in Mill Hall man's car

Williamsport, Pa. — A Williamsport man is charged with delivering one gram of cocaine and 18 Percocet pills to a Mill Hall man, according to court records. Franklin Probst of Mill Hall was pulled over after two traffic violations and allegedly admitted to buying the drugs from Khalil Mateen Baines, 40, of Williamsport. On Nov. 2, while sitting surveillance at the Family Dollar on Memorial Avenue, detectives saw a blue Lexus SUV registered to a Probst. Detectives watched Baines, who they described as "a known cocaine dealer in the Williamsport area," get out of the SUV's front passenger seat and walk inside the store. Baines reportedly stayed inside the story for two or three minutes, then returned and got back into the front passenger seat. The SUV then drove to the 400 block of Third Avenue where Baines exited and went into a residence. Probst drove the vehicle away, and was pulled over for crossing the street's double yellow line twice, according to detectives. Williamsport police, including Sgt. Brian McGee and K-9 Niko, conducted an open-air sniff of the vehicle. The K-9 gave a positive alert, and a subsequent search recovered the gram cocaine and 18 Percocet pills, also known

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

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

12 Small Pennsylvania Towns Where Neighbors Still Look Out For One Another

In 1856, a local woman hurried to the scene of a terrible train crash near her Pennsylvania home. She spent hours caring for the injured, and people never forgot what she did. A railroad later named its station after her. Then the whole town took her name too. I love that a community chose to honor kindness instead of a general or a rich landowner.

13 Secret Pennsylvania Eateries That Keep a Low Profile but Serve Incredible Food

One pizzeria in this list wants you to reserve your dough before you show up. Not your table. Your dough. I love that kind of quiet confidence. Another spot sells pierogies out of a former gas station. A third serves roast pork sandwiches near railroad tracks in an industrial pocket of a big city. None of them shout for attention, and that’s exactly why they caught my eye.

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
