PARADISE TOWNSHIP, MONROE CO. (WOLF) —

A Monroe County Church was the target of an arson yesterday.

65-Year-Old Steven Meyer of Paradise Township has been charged with Arson, Ethic Intimidation, and criminal mischief.

“I find out from my brother who is also a trustee. The pastor had called him after being notified by the state police that someone was burning a flag outside of our church and fella lives next door, and he’s a little bit unbalanced,” said Stephen Jabara, a trustee at the church.

“He was just disruptive when he came to church, he started coming here a few months ago, not regularly but every 3rd Sunday I would say, creating a ruckus,” said Jabara.

“I just bought a new flag, I’m going to put it up today,” he added.

Sisters Lori and Debra Leonard are turning up the heat on their father’s cold case murder and their mother’s accidental death in the Poconos half a century ago.

HB1018 passed the PA House 102-99 on May 22, 2023. It would allow the removal of a person's firearms with no due process, the subject of such orders is typically informed of the action through the execution of a no-knock warrant at their home. Please contact District 40 Senator, Rosemary Brown, at 570-620-4326 to tell her you strongly oppose HB1018. Don't be fooled by supporters of this bill who refer to it as "extreme risk protection orders" - this legislation would bring RED FLAG LAWS to Pennsylvania. Red flag laws are easily abused by bad actors to deprive a person of their 2nd amendment rights, putting them in a position to prove that they are "worthy" of owning their firearms and often costing them a great deal of money.
