DOVE Post Staff DALLAS TOWNSHIP - A 15- year-old boy has earned the dubi- ous honor of being the first Dallas High School student petitioned to juvenile court for violating the weapons section of the Safe Schools Act. Police said the boy hid the gun, a CQO?gas cartridge BB pistol which closely resembles a .45-caliber semiautomatic, in a car driven by a 17-year-old girl who gave him a ride to school. The girl's car is registered to her father, school board member Thom Russ. “Word got around the school that the boy had a gun,” said police chief Carl Miers. “Eventu- ally the principal and vice-princi- pal found out and called the girl to the office.” Administrators searched her car, found the gun wrapped in a sweatshirt and called police. Bringing a weapon onto school grounds is a violation of the Safe Schools Act recently passed by Governor Tom Ridge, which man- dates expulsion for such offenses. “The family and the district are reviewing the options — transfer to another district or enrollment in the alternative education’ pro- gram,” Galicki. “No one has made any’ decisions yet. The girl is totally said principal Frank ¢ | innocent - she was simply in’the’ wrong place at the wrong time.” The boy had had some truancy’ problems in the past, he-added. The boy has been petitioned to! Luzerne County Juvenile 'Couft’ and could be placed on probation” [ or sent to a reform school such as’ St. Michael's, Miers said: he added. “A CO? gun shoots a pellet which can penetrate an alii: minum can and could seriously’ injure or kill someone if it hit their’ : “If hel were an adult he would be pros-' ecuted for a misdemeanor charge,” eye, temple or jugular vein in’ ‘the. neck.” Police are considering the ‘case’ open until juvenile authorities’ make a decision, Miers sdid." 1 | Police seek suspectin =] alleged abduction attempt DALLAS TOWNSHIP - Police are seeking information on a man who attempted to force a woman into his car Monday, April 22, during the early evening near College Misericordia. Police say the suspect mayalso be connected to two other recent incidents in the township. The suspect is described as a white male in his early 30's, about six feet tall with bright reddish- orange hair. He is slim in build and appeared unshaven at the time. A week before the latest inci- dent, a man fitting the same de- scription followed a young woman as she was leaving an area busi- ness establishment and ques- tioned her on where she went to school and other information, and followed a second young woman to her car where it was parked at the Country Club Shopping Cen- ter. Corrections » Because of incorrect information provided to The Dallas Post, an’ - & ¥ Police are also checking? his possible connection to similarin- cidents in Exeter and Dushore. Anyone who has seen the sus- pect or believes they have had an encounter with him is asked to call police at 675-5251.
