Carbon County court

Two defendants in pending criminal cases entered guilty pleas before President Judge Roger N. Nanovic II in Carbon County court on Thursday.

Travis J. Litts, 32, of Lansford, pleaded to one count of retail theft for an incident on Jan. 12, 2017, at the Turkey Hill Market in Nesquehoning. He stole an item valued at $5.91.

Nanovic ordered he make restitution to the store for $5.91 and ordered no other penalty.

Damin David Franges, 28, of Whitehall, pleaded to one count of criminal mischief. He was arrested by state police at Lehighton after he broke a large outside window at the Rausch Haus in Lower Towamensing Township on May 10.

Nanovic placed him on probation for a year and ordered he make restitution for the window of $2,400.

Franges must also pay court costs of about $1,000 and a $50 per month supervision fee while on parole or probation.
