MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — A Morgantown fugitive is in custody after being on the run for close to two weeks.
Mark Kelly was arrested in Dilliner, Pennsylvania, by Greene County Sheriff’s deputies with the help of U.S. Marshals. Kelly was arrested without incident.
A Facebook post from the Greene County Sheriff’s Office said Kelly had been wanted in Morgantown since January 5 in connection with a strangulation case.
Kelly is being held at the Greene County Jail on a fugitive from justice charge.
A man in Monroe County, Pennsylvania, is accused of vandalizing several pickleball courts after suffering an injury that “ruined” his summer, police said.
Saif Kaleem of Tannersville is facing charges of criminal mischief, disorderly conduct and trespassing after the vandalism at TLC and Mountain View parks, the Pocono Township Police Department said in a news release over the weekend.
Authorities said Kaleem was captured on video cutting a net at TLC Park on May 12 before leaving the scene in a white Hyundai Tucson. On May 14, police said the same vehicle was spotted on video entering Mountain View Park after it closed. He got out of the vehicle and went to the pickleball court, police said in the news release. A snapshot of the video obtained by police showed Kaleem using crutches to get around.
“Pocono Township Community members informed the PTPD that the pictured male had been seen at TLC Park on multiple occasion prior to the incident,” police’s news release said.
Kaleem, according to police, matched the description of the person in the video footage, and investigators went to his home to interview him. Police said he admitted to suffering “a recent pickleball injury” at Mountain View Park. The exact injury was not released by law enforcement.
The 31-year-old man then allegedly confessed to cutting the pickleball net at TLC Park and three pickleball nets at Mountain View Park, as well as the tennis court net at Mountain View Park, due to his “summer being ruined.”
The body of a 27-year-old man was found in a pond in Lynn Township, Pennsylvania, on Saturday night.
The Lehigh County Coroner’s Office said the man was found submerged on a property along the 8500 block of Allemaengel Road around 6 p.m.
The 27-year-old from Emmaus, whose name is not being released to give his family time “to mourn and grieve this tragic loss privately,” according to the coroner, was pulled from the water and pronounced dead at the scene.
An autopsy is scheduled for Tuesday to determine the cause and manner of death.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to the decedent’s family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time,” Lehigh County Coroner Daniel Buglio, D-ABMDI, said in a statement Sunday.
The Pennsylvania State Police Fogelsville Station is also investigating the death.
