Charges

• Donald Robert Conklin, 25, of the 100 block of West Catawissa Street, was charged with unlawful possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia after an incident on Jan. 27.

Police said officers were at the apartments after they were informed by Conklin of an unrelated incident inside his apartment. Conklin allowed police to look in his apartment for the suspect and while there, they observed a marijuana cigarette in an ashtray. Conklin said the marijuana wasn’t his, but officers said it appeared he was under the influence of a controlled substance.

• William Ralph Montgomery II, 30, of the unit block of West Catawissa Street, was charged with simple assault and harassment.

On Feb 2, at approximately 7 p.m., police were called to the residence for a domestic incident. This was the second time police were at the home that day.

The victim, who had a bloody nose, told police that shortly after officers left for the previous incident, Montgomery started another argument and punched the victim in the nose. Police took Montgomery into custody and after interviewing him, took him to the Carbon County Correctional Facility.

• Jeremy Highland, 29, an inmate at the correctional facility, was charged with failing to register for Megan’s Law with Pennsylvania State Police and failing to get photographed.

On Dec. 10, police received an investigation request by state police Megan’s Law section about Highland’s whereabouts since the last known location was the correctional facility. Highland had been released from prison on Oct. 16.

Police called Highland’s probation officer, who was able to contact him and said he told her he would update his address to a location in Pottsville.

• Michele A. Goodhile, 53, of the 200 block of White St., Weissport, was charged with identity theft, and access to a device that wasn’t hers. On July 22, police met with a Nesquehoning woman, who said Goodhile had visited her on July 20 and once she left, she noticed that her debit card was missing.

The next day, the victim reported her card stolen, but learned that there had been three ATM transactions totaling $443.75. Goodhile then called the victim later that evening, saying she was willing to return the money the next day, but never showed.

On Sept. 4, police again tried to speak with Goodhile but she did not want to speak with police.

• Paula Nicole Creveling, 30, of the 500 block of East Bertsch Street, Lansford, was charged with endangering the welfare of children.

On Jan. 23, police were informed that Jim Thorpe and Lansford police were in the parking lot of Redner’s Warehouse Market in the borough for a call about two children left in an unlocked running vehicle with no adult around.

Jim Thorpe police informed Nesquehoning that when officers arrived, the officer saw the vehicle in question with two small children left inside and the doors unlocked. The caller who reported the children said the children were in the vehicle for at approximately 10 minutes.

Police went into the store and asked staff to call Creveling up to the front of the store.

Creveling told police she just needed to grab baby diapers, but admitted leaving the two small children in an unlocked car was wrong.
