Driver cited for Tamaqua incident

Spinning his vehicle's tires at the Tamaqua Burger King restaurant earned a teen motorist a citation on Monday evening.

Tyler B. Tyson, 18, of 347 Archery Club Rd., New Ringgold, was operating a white Pontiac Grand Am at 5:30 that evening, exiting the parking lot at the Cedar Street restaurant. Tyson spun the tires as the car passed the drive-thru window. Several people were in the immediate area, including a Tamaqua police officer. Tyson returned to the lot and was unable to explain his actions to the officer.

He was cited for disorderly conduct with a motor vehicle.
