g*q 发帖数: 26623 | 1 Rockne Newell, a self-proclaimed junk collector in Ross Township, was
identified as the gunman in the deadly shooting at a township municipal
meeting last night.
State police at Lehighton sought a search warrant from a district judge to
search Newell's property.
According to previous reports, Newell got a building permit from the
township to have a storage structure on the property, but then built a
dwelling without first getting a zoning permit or certificate of occupancy
from the township.
Over the years, authorities have responded to Newell's property as a result
of neighbor complaints and on one occasion in 2009 found human fecal matter
in buckets there, according to previous reports in the Pocono Record.
The township determined he was improperly disposing of sewage with no septic
system or permit for one.
In a previous account, Newell said he couldn't afford septic hookup fees.
“If I lose this property, I have nowhere else to go,” Newell told the
Pocono Record in June.
“What they're doing to me, what they've been doing to me for so long, it's
wrong.” |
