A day after the “physical attack” on York City Hall, officials say the facility will need to remain closed through Friday to assess and repair the damage.

Kevin Isaiah Waller, 24, of Philadelphia was charged with breaking into the building and destroying everything from doors, to computers, to random property on Wednesday night.

On Thursday evening, officials released an update saying that that the property damage to the city’s Information Technology department is forcing the extended closure.

“We are actively working to assess and repair the damaged caused with the goal of restoring operations as soon as possible,” official said. As of Thursday night, all York city landline phone numbers were still offline.

Other services on the city’s website were still not operational, however individual email contacts and employee cell phones are operating normally.

The city’s emergency and critical operations, including the York City Police Department, York City Department of Fire/Rescue Services and Wastewater Treatment Plant are still working, officials said. City employees are being contacted by their supervisor regarding work duties.

In the event of an emergency, residents should call 911. Non-emergency reports for the York City Police Department can be submitted through the department’s CrimeWatch Website.

“Kevin Isaiah Waller, 24, of Philadelphia was charged...”

Which local politician bailed him out so he can get back “work”?

At the University where I was one of the managers we had a fraking FLOOD that took out all our servers AND our telephone switch.

We did NOT cry b/c we had an owie. Classes had to meet, research had to continue. We rolled up our sleeves and Dealt With It without shutting down.

The only thing that ever shut us down was a large earthquake and that was only for a week or so.

York's Mayor is a RINO (ran on R ticket after a loss in the Primary) who was busted for selling hallucinogenic mushrooms as young adult.

Also the home of Round the Clock Diner (two locations) which opened for sit-down dining on Mother’s Day....three weeks before York County was declared “green”.

Good first generation Greeks who fled the Commies in te late 40’s...they know what we are facing.

Probably a professional thug and trouble maker should be charged with a major felony based on the property damage. Send him to Devils Island for 20 years where he must survive on his own without any taxpayer assistance.
