It was a busy weekend for Indiana Borough Police, as they report four incidents spanning from Saturday to this morning.
SIMPLE ASSAULT/HARASSMENT
Reports say that shortly after 4:30 a.m. Saturday morning, borough police officers were dispatched to a home along the 1400-block of Church St. after a female was said to be repeatedly calling 911 for no reason. When officers arrived at the home, they found the woman to be 42-year-old Kandi Swanson. Swanson reportedly kicked an officer and was arrested soon after. Charges of simple assault, harassment and communications with 911 systems were filed through District Judge Guy Haberl’s office.
PUBLIC DRUNKENESS
Borough police officers also report 20-year-old Caden Walters of Myerstown was intoxicated along the 700-block of Wayne Ave. shortly after midnight on Sunday. He would be charged with public drunkenness and underage drinking. Later on, officers arrested 43-year-old Jason Stevens shortly before 10 p.m., after reports say he caused a disturbance at a business along the 00-block of South 5th St. He was issued non-traffic citations for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
