Man cited for traffic violations

A Schwenksville man was cited by Tamaqua police on Sept. 4 after two motorists complained about a careless driver. One of the callers contacted Tamaqua police directly and the other called the Schuylkill County Communications Center in Pottsville.

The callers said a driver in a white, four-door sedan was headed south on Route 309 and was passing in a no-passing zone on Center Street. Both callers were able to provide additional vehicle and driver information.

The car was stopped in South Tamaqua and the driver identified as Albert J. Augustine, 25, who said he was hurrying home to see his brother.

He was cited for passing on the left in a no passing zone and reckless driving.
