OF NEXT WEEK. I’LL TALK ABOUT THIS MORE COMING UP ON NEWS EIGHT AT SIX. FELONY CHARGES FILED AGAINST A FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HARRISBURG’S BROAD STREET MARKET. WHAT HE’S ACCUSED OF DOING WITH THE MARKET’S MONEY THERE. CONSTANTLY BREAKING BIG ROCKS UP A PILE OF DIRT AND DEBRIS ENCROACHING ON A DAUPHIN COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD. WHY THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE SAY SOMETHING NEEDS TO CHANGE. POWER OUTAGE AT THE STATE CAPITOL. HOW LONG IT LASTED AND WHO NEEDED FIRST RESPONDERS HELP? THE FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF HARRISBURG’S BROAD STREET MARKET IS FACING FELONY CHARGES AFTER PROSECUTORS SAY HE USED THE MARKET’S MONEY TO BUY ITEMS FOR HIMSELF. GOOD EVENING. I’M THASMEEN MAHFUZ. AND I’M JERE GISH NEWS EIGHT’S TOM LEHMAN GOT THE DOCUMENTS IN THE INVESTIGATION, AND JOINS US LIVE NOW FROM THE MARKET WITH MORE. TOM? YEAH. JERRY AND TASMIN CHARGING DOCUMENTS SAY THAT TANNIS MONROY, THE FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HERE AT THE BROAD STREET MARKET, ALSO AUTHORIZED THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF UNAUTHORIZED RAISES FOR HIMSELF, EVEN THOUGH THE MARKETS BOARD HAD ONLY APPROVED ONE RAISE DURING HIS TIME HERE AT THE FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED MARKET. THOSE COURT DOCUMENTS OBTAINED BY WGAL SAY THAT THOSE UNAUTHORIZED BONUSES TOTALED ABOUT $7,200. AND AGAIN, WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY THE BOARD THAT RUNS THE MARKET HERE IN HARRISBURG. MONROY IS ALSO ACCUSED OF USING THE BROAD STREET MARKET’S CREDIT CARD FOR CLOSE TO $12,000 WORTH OF PERSONAL PURCHASES THAT ALSO WERE UNAUTHORIZED. SOME OF THOSE EXPENSES INCLUDED UBER RIDES, FOOD APPS, SERVICE CALLS, WATER BILLS, EVEN A DOGGY SPA WAS CITED IN THE COURT DOCUMENTS. AN INVESTIGATOR ALSO WROTE THAT THERE WERE UNAUTHORIZED CHECKS MADE PAYABLE TO MONROY’S SISTER AND TO THE NONPROFIT SERVED THE CITY IN CARLISLE, WHICH INVESTIGATORS SAY MONROY WAS AFFILIATED WITH. MONROY SERVED AS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE MARKET BETWEEN OCTOBER 2022 AND FEBRUARY 2024. EVENTUALLY STEPPING DOWN FOR WHAT HE SAID AT THE TIME WERE HEALTH REASONS. MONROY SERVED DURING A SPAN OF TIME THAT ALSO INCLUDED THAT HUGE FIRE AT THE BRICK BUILDING, AND THE RESULTING MASSIVE FINANCIAL DOWNTURN HERE AT THE MARKET. AND HE WAS ALSO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR DURING AN ATTEMPTED DOUBLING OF RENTS HERE THAT WAS NIXED AFTER VENDOR AND COMMUNITY PUSHBACK. NOW, IN A STATEMENT EARLIER TODAY, THE MARKET’S LEADERSHIP SAYS THAT THEY’VE BEEN COOPERATING WITH THE INVESTIGATION AND THAT TIGHTER FINANCIAL CONTROLS WERE PUT IN PLACE AFTER THEY LEARNED ABOUT WHAT IS OUTLINED IN THE COURT DOCUMENTS SO THAT THEY CAN ENSURE MARKET MONEY IS PROPERLY SPENT. THE MARKET ALLIANCE WROTE IN THEIR STATEMENT THAT THESE PRECEDENTS OF TRANSPARENCY WILL EMPOWER THE PUBLIC TO HOLD THE MARKET ACCOUNTABLE TO FINANCIAL STEWARDSHIP OF THIS ESSENTIAL COMMUNITY ASSET. AND AGAIN, WE HAVE REACHED OUT TO TANNIS MONROY, THE FORMER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HERE, WHO AGAIN, IS FACING FELONY CHARGES. ACCORDING TO THE COURT DOCUMENTS, WE OBTAINED, HE DID NOT ANSWER A PHONE CALL. I LEFT WITH HIM EARLIER TODAY, AS WELL AS A VOICEMAIL SEEKING COMMENT ON THIS MATTER. IN HARRISBURG, TOM LEHMAN WGAL NEWS EIGHT. ALSO TONIGHT, A POLICE INCIDENT THAT STARTED IN MARYLAND ENDED IN A YORK COUNTY NEIGHBORHOOD. NEWS EIGHT’S ED WEINSTOCK JOINS US LIVE FROM NORTH CORDORUS TOWNSHIP WITH MORE. EDDIE. YEAH, A LOT OF QUESTIONS TONIGHT ABOUT WHAT BROUGHT MULTIPLE POLICE UNITS TO THIS SPRING GROVE NEIGHBORHOOD. AROUND 2:00 THIS AFTERNOON, POLICE CARS FROM BOTH PENNSYLVANIA AND MARYLAND LINED THE 1900 BLOCK OF JEFFERSON ROAD FOR ABOUT 90 MINUTES. A PHOTO SENT TO WGAL NEWS EIGHT SHOWS WHAT IT LOOKED LIKE A NEIGHBOR WHO LIVES ON THE STREET DESCRIBED WHAT SHE SAW. I DID SEE A MAN AND WOMAN AND A SMALL BOY, AND SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THEM. WE’VE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS A MARYLAND POLICE INVESTIGATION. WE REACHED OUT TO THE CARROLL COUNTY SHERIFF’S SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT TO FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION. BUT AT THIS POINT, ALL THEY ARE SAYING IS THAT THIS IS A CIVIL MATTER. NO OTHER INFO RIGHT NOW IN YORK COUNTY. ED WEINSTOCK WGAL NEWS EIGHT EDITOR. THANK YOU. AN ADAMS COUNTY MAN IS CHARGED WITH ATTEMPTED MURDER AND A ROAD RAGE INCIDENT IN MARYLAND. MARYLAND STATE TROOPERS SAY 37 YEAR OLD BRIAN PARADINE OF LITTLESTOWN FIRED AT ANOTHER VEHICLE AROUND 730 YESTERDAY MORNING ON ROUTE 15, IN FREDERICK COUNTY. TROOPERS SAY SHOTS WENT THROUGH THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE VICTIM’S VEHICLE, BUT THE VICTIM WAS NOT HURT. POLICE FOUND PARADINE AT A BUSINESS IN THURMONT, MARYLAND. THEY SAY THERE WAS A LOADED NINE MILLIMETER HANDGUN AND A SPENT SHELL CASING IN HIS VEHICLE. LOWER ALLEN TOWNSHIP POLICE IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY ARE LOOKING FOR A MAN WANTED FOR RAPE.

STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL IS HANDLING A CASE AGAINST A FORMER ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY IN LANCASTER COUNTY. THE LANCASTER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAYS THAT LONGTIME ADA CHRISTINE WILSON RESIGNED MAY 24TH. WILSON WAS CHARGED AFTER LANCASTER POLICE SAY SHE DID NOT STOP AT A STOP SIGN AT WALNUT AND WATER STREETS IN LANCASTER ON MAY 17TH, AND HIT ANOTHER CAR. POLICE SAY SHE LEFT THE SCENE WITHOUT EXCHANGING INFORMATION WITH THE OTHER DRIVER OR FINDING OUT IF THE DRIVER WAS INJURED. IN A STATEMENT, THE DA SAID AS PROSECUTORS AND ADMINISTRATORS OF JUSTICE, WE ARE HELD TO A HIGHER STANDARD AND FOR THAT REASON, AND GIVEN ALL THE CIRc*msTANCES INVOLVED, I ACCEPTED MISS WILSON’S RESIGNATION. THE CECIL COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE IN MARYLAND TELLS NEWS EIGHT IT’S WORKING WITH PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE AFTER REMAINS WERE FOUND THERE LAST WEEK. NOW, THE REMAINS HAVE NOT BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE TELLS US THEY MAY BE CONNECTED TO A MISSING PERSONS INVESTIGATION OUT OF LANCASTER COUNTY. SO STATE POLICE SAY 25 YEAR OLD MATTHEW WISEMAN WAS LAST SEEN AT HIS HOME IN EAST DRUMORE TOWNSHIP AT THE END OF MARCH. TROOPERS STARTED INVESTIGATING LAST MONTH AND SAY THE CIRc*msTANCES SURROUNDING HIS DISAPPEARANCE ARE SUSPICIOUS. POLICE ALSO SAY WISEMAN HAS TIES TO MARYLAND, AND A LANCASTER COUNTY MAN WAS KILLED THIS MORNING IN A CRASH. THAT CRASH HAPPENED JUST BEFORE 5.30 ON SLATE HILL ROAD, NEAR TANYARD HOLLOW ROAD IN DRUMORE TOWNSHIP. WHEN FIRST RESPONDERS ARRIVED ON SCENE, 52 YEAR OLD BRIAN LEWIS OF DRUMORE TOWNSHIP WAS TRAPPED IN A BURNING VEHICLE. INVESTIGATORS SAY A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THE VEHICLE HAD SWERVED OFF THE ROADWAY AND HIT A TREE. SOUTH LEBANON TOWNSHIP POLICE ARE INVESTIGATING A SERIES OF VEHICLE BREAK INS AND ARE LOOKING FOR HELP. POLICE WANT TO IDENTIFY THE PEOPLE IN THIS VIDEO. CONSIDERED PERSONS OF INTEREST. OFFICERS SAY SOMEONE IS GOING INTO UNLOCKED VEHICLES AND TAKING ITEMS AND MONEY. AND IN LANCASTER COUNTY, CREWS ARE CLEANING UP AFTER A VEHICLE SMASHED INTO THE WALL OF A FEDEX. IT HAPPENED ON FRUITVILLE PIKE IN MANHEIM TOWNSHIP. NO ONE WAS HURT. POWER WAS OUT AT THE STATE CAPITOL FOR ABOUT HALF AN HOUR TODAY, AND AS A RESULT, SOME BUILDINGS WERE EVACUATED AND SOME PEOPLE NEEDED HELP GETTING OUT OF ELEVATORS. HARRISBURG FIRE CHIEF BRIAN ENTERLINE TELLS NEWS EIGHT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM KNOCKED OUT POWER JUST BEFORE 11. A BACKUP GENERATOR KICKED IN. FIRST RESPONDERS HELPED GET THREE PEOPLE OUT OF ELEVATORS IN THE MAIN CAPITOL NORTH OFFICE BUILDING, AND THE FORUM. NO ONE WAS HURT. THE BUILDINGS WERE THEN REOPENED, AND SOME PEOPLE IN STEELE AND DAUPHIN COUNTY ARE FED UP BECAUSE OF THIS. THIS IS A HUGE PILE OF DIRT AND DEBRIS. NEWS EIGHT’S ANNE SHANNON LOOKED INTO WHAT’S GOING ON. OLDEST STONE IN HERE WAS BUSTED UP. MIKE BURNER BUILT HIS HOME ON ROLLER DRIVE IN 1981. IT’S BEEN A GREAT NEIGHBORHOOD UNTIL IT’S A NIGHTMARE BACK HERE. IT’S BEEN A NIGHTMARE BACK HERE FOR THE LAST ALMOST FOUR MONTHS. MAYBE. MAYBE LONGER. BARNES SAYS THAT’S WHEN CREWS STARTED DUMPING DIRT AND STONES HERE. YOU KNOW, THEY STARTED AT 430, 5:00 IN THE MORNING AND START THEIR NOISE WITH A FEW VEHICLES, AND THEN IT GOES THROUGH MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY TILL FIVE, SIX, 7:00. PENNDOT SAYS ALL THIS DEBRIS IS FROM THE INTERSTATE 83 EXPANSION PROJECT. PENNDOT REQUIRES CONTRACTORS TO FIND A SPOT TO PUT ALL THE MATERIAL AND GET THE PROPER PERMITS. NOW, IN THIS CASE, NEW ENTERPRISES. LYMAN STONE IS THE CONTRACTOR AND THEY HAVE A PERMIT FROM THE DAUPHIN COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT TO USE THIS PLACE. BUT THE NEIGHBORS HERE AREN’T HAPPY ABOUT IT. I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT MOUNTAIN DISAPPEAR, BUT THE DIRT HAS TO GO SOMEPLACE. NEIGHBORS HERE THINK THERE MUST BE A BETTER SPOT. WHY DO THEY GOT TO DO IT HERE? ENDLESS NIGHTMARE. TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE. IN STEELTON, DAUPHIN COUNTY, ANNE SHANNON WGAL NEWS EIGHT. SO WE REACHED OUT TO THE DAUPHIN COUNTY CONSERVATION DISTRICT AND WERE TOLD THAT THE STATE DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION WOULD BE RELEASING A STATEMENT ON THAT PILE. WE HAVE NOT YET HEARD BACK FROM THEM. COMMITMENT 2024 ELECTION COVERAGE. NOW. PENNSYLVANIA, OF COURSE, PLAYING A BIG ROLE IN THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE AND REPUBLICAN VICE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE JD VANCE MADE A CAMPAIGN STOP IN WESTMORELAND COUNTY THIS MORNING.

YOUR WAY. BUT THE CALLER ON THE OTHER END SAYS THEY CAN HELP YOU STAY CONNECTED. COMING UP NEXT, I’M ON YOUR SIDE WITH HOW YOU CAN DISCONNECT BEFORE YOU GET SCAMMED.
