WILKES-BARRE – Luzerne County Sheriff Michael Savokinas acknowledged Friday that vacation time recently taken by Chief Deputy Charles Guarnieri was not reported to the county’s payroll department but insisted it was a misunderstanding and there was no intent to defraud the county. Savokinas said Guarnieri was off for about two weeks. That information was recorded internally, he said, but it was not transmitted to the county payroll department because his payroll clerk apparently did not realize it was supposed to be noted. That resulted in Guarnieri being credited for working...

In spite of dozens of news reports the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation has yet to release any information about the case and the county District Attorney has yet to issue any statement about imminent prosecution. Family members allege Officer Minton was not in proper uniform and the use of deadly force over an alleged wildlife violation was excessive.
