Man charged with corruption
SUNBURY — Police have charged a Sunbury man with giving alcohol to four teenagers.
City police said David Shawn Yates, of 1100 N. Fourth St., bought vodka for the youths — two boys, 15 and 17, and two girls, 13 and 14 — on Nov. 1, then invited them to back to his home after drinking by the dike wall.
The girls admitted to consuming the alcohol and having an “improper relationship” with Yates, according to police.
He was charged with four misdemeanor counts each of corruption of minors and furnishing alcohol to minors and was placed in the Northumberland County Prison on a probation violation.
Club cited for noise
MILTON — Loud music on three occasions has brought a citation by the Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement against a Front Street nightclub, officials said.
State agents cited Big Andy’s, 14 S. Front St., because music from an inside amplification system allegedly was audible on the street. According to the citation, music and other entertainment was heard on Oct. 11, 18 and 25.
