DISTRICT COURT
~ REPORT
A hearing on charges of ‘‘reck-
lessly endangering another person”
has been scheduled for Mark Howell
of 209 Spruce Street, Kingston, Dis-
trict Justice Earl Gregory told The
Dallas Post Monday.
The misdemeanor charge was
filed by Christine Perkoski of RD 3,
Dallas, stemming from an incident
on May 17 on which Howell alleg-
edly chased Perkoski in his car
along route 415 after leaving Bono-
mos Roller Rink and forced her to
stop along Center Hill Road.
Howell, the complaint says, then
jumped from his car and began
pounding on the hood and roof of
Perkoski’s vehicle. The complaint
goes on to say that Howell then
punched out the driver’s side
window and hit Perkoski on the left
side of her face.
Perkoski sustained a large wound
on the side of her face which later
took 12 stitches to close at Nesbitt
Memorial hospital.
District Justice Gregory said that
Perkoski said that she did not know
Howell before the incident.
