Miers into another room, but
Tupper tossed a cup of coffee into
Kelly’s face and forced him against
the wall. The two officers began
scuffling with Kelly when a number
of shots were discharged, striking
the two officers.
Meanwhile, Phyllis Walter, a dis-
patcher who was also present at the
time, wisely flicked on the police
radio, alerting surrounding police
units to the incident and allowing
them to respond within minutes.

The problem returned when Ide
departed and, to make matters
worse, residents recently received a
letter from the Dallas Water Com-
pany, who purchased the operation
from Robbins Door and Sash Co. in
October, stating that their yearly
rate will double, retroactive to May
1, 1986. Residents currently pay $15
every three months, but will eventu-
ally convert to a meter system.
Joe Salla, general manager of the
Dallas Water Company, says he is
aware of the situation and that the
company is working on a solution.
at the Wilkes-Barre General Hospi-
tal following a wound to the thigh,
while Tupper, who underwent sur-
gery on Monday, was struck in the
right thigh and left ankle. He is also
listed in fair condition.
Kelly was also taken to the hospi-
tal for treatment for a cut to the
head and discharged at 7:10 a.m.
Saturday morning. He was immedi-
ately placed under arrest by offi-
cers Doug Lamoreux of Dallas
Township, Ronald Spock of Harveys
Lake and Tropper William Gatley of
Wyoming Barracks.
Kelly was reportedly to have said
at that time, “I went there (to the
“This is a problem that existed
even before we took over,” Salla
stated. “It’s a small problem, but it
is very difficult to track down. We
have had electricians and people
who specialize in pumps come in
and look at the situation. But,
because it is an intermittent prob-
lem it is difficult to pinpoint. The
slightest fluctuation in power can
cause it.”
Salla believes the problem could
either be the power supply coming
in to operate the pump, or the wire
leading down to the well located at
the storage tank. But at this stage,
he isn’t sure exactly what it is.

An announcement that construc-
tion will begin June 16 on the Oak
Hill Sewer project was made at
Monday’s meeting of the Lake-
Lehman Township Board of Super-
visors.
Charles Bartlet told the board
that the closing of the financing
package for the project was closed
on June 2 and the project is in a
mobilization stage. Construction is
expected to span a one year period
and Bartlet hopes to have 80 to 90
percent of the residents on line by
January of next year. Bartlet also
told the board that they are still
unable to obtain liability insurance.
The board voted to give Barbara
Simms, zoning officer, a salary of
$300 per month retroactive to Janu-
ary 1, 1986. The board also voted to
hire John B. Naylis as part-time
police officer for the borough.
Supervisor Doug Ide told residents
that Naylis is a graduate of Michi-
gan State and Luzerne County Com-
munity College and has been certi-
fied under Act 125. Naylis’ salary
will be $5.00 per hour.
The board accepted a bid from
East Side Sand and Gravel for a
crusher at $15,700 and a bid for $600
on the borough’s shovel from
Modern Gas.
Board Supervisors Ide and Paul
Goodwin were unsatisfied with spec-
ifications given them on the pur-
chase of a new single axle, one-ton
dump truck. The board resolved to
advertise for bids on the truck with
modified specifications.
Supervisors asked Solicitor
Joseph Van Jura to review a
request from Telemedia Cable Com-
pany to have the township enter into
a franchise agreement.

police station) and told them I
wanted that ---- Carl Miers.” Kelly
said that Miers and officer Elliot
Ide ‘“‘ruined my life.”
On March 11, 1985, both Miers and
Ide were involved in the arrest of
Helly who was cited for driving
under the influence of alcohol after
his Chevy Truck rammed into a
Mercedes parked along Lake
Catalpa Road, which in turn pushed
into a Cadillac that was also station-
ary.
Kelly was subsequently arrested
by Ide and taken to the Dallas
Township Municipal Building for
processing. He was then transferred
to the Kingston Township Municipal
Building by Ide and Chief Miers for
a breathalyzer test. The reading
taken was .208, but the mark failed
to print out on the machine. He
weas then taken back to the Dallas
Township building where Miers
administered a field test.
On September 3 of 1985, Kelly was
placed on Accelerated Rehabilita-
tion Disposition (ARD), a program
that allows the defendants’ criminal
record to be cleared if he success-
fully completes the program. His
driver’s license was also suspended
for five months.
Friends reportedly said the inci-
dent bothered Kelly for some time,
but public record shows that it was
not the first time Kelly had had a
run-in with Dallas Township offi-
cers.
In December of 1969, Miers was
summoned to the then Hozy-K
tavern on Main Street in Dallas to
help subdue a group of individuals
who allegedly kicked and pum-
melled automobiles and shouted
obscenities at passing motorists.
Described as “meek as lambs when
they were alone,” the bunch often
became rowdy and uncontrollable

when together.
When Miers arrived, he arrested
one of the individuals, but Kelly
intervened saying ‘nobody is going
anywhere.’ Kelly then grabbed
Miers’ arm and pushed the arrested
person away before striking Miers
in the stomach and breaking his
glasses.
Miers managed to pin Kelly to the
ground when other members of the
gang came to his (Kelly’s) rescue,
stomping on Miers’ hand and night-
stick and kicking snow in his face.
Miers finally pulled his revolver and
placed the group under arrest.
Kelly was later arraigned before
Leonard Harvey and charged with
disturbing the peace, disorderly
conduct, resisting arrest and assault
and battery. Bail was set at $2,000,
the highest of any of the individuals
involved.
Kelly’s preliminary hearing for
Saturday’s incident is scheduled for
June 16 at 1 p.m. before District
Justice Earl Gregory of Shaver-
town.
