MAN ARRESTED FOR PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS

Officers responding to assist fire crews say 37-year-old David Burkhart was intoxicated, yelling, and refused orders to put out a small backyard fire. According to court documents, he later showed up at police headquarters drinking alcohol on the steps, then returned home where he allegedly caused more damage, breaking windows and shouting. Burkhart is now charged with disorderly conduct and public drunkenness and is being held on 3-thousand dollars bail.
SETTLE OUTSTANDING WARRANTS IN NORRY, SUNBURY
Police in Sunbury and Northumberland are giving residents a limited window to take care of outstanding warrants. Officials say a 10-day amnesty period runs April 14th through the 24th, allowing people to turn themselves in, pay fines, or resolve issues without immediate arrest. District Attorney Michael O’Donnell says after that deadline, targeted enforcement will begin. Last year’s sweep brought in more than 32-thousand dollars in Sunbury alone. Authorities warn that once the grace period ends, those with active warrants could face additional fines or even jail time.
