Police: Disorderly Macungie Man Arrested After Failing to Heed Warning

Retaliation for neighbor's complain brings charges including intimidation, resisting arrest and harassment, troopers report.

A Macungie man may have wished to send a message recently to an unappreciated neighbor, but was given something of his own to think about. Borough police paid a visit to Joshua Matthew Kish, 37, on Jan. 11 to discuss a complaint of excessive noise, police said. They spoke to him at his 55 Lehigh St., Apt. 2 home and warned him about making too much noise. After police left, Kish a short time later stomped on the floor and banged on the exterior door, denting it, to annoy the person who reported the initial incident, police said. That prompted a return visit from police at 9:22 p.m. Police received no answer this time, but officers eventually gained entry by unspecified means. Inside they found Kish, a woman and two small children, police …

Girl, 11, Punched at Roller Rink

Older girl is charged with harassment for assault on an 11-year-old at Lower Macungie roller skating facility, troopers say.

A Saturday evening at a Lower Macungie Township roller skating rink was more like the old-style roller derby as punches flew, according to police. But instead of rock-em-sock-em action akin to "pro wrestling" that took place between teams of adults in a roller rink, this action was real, took place between two juveniles and ended in charges being filed by state police at Fogelsville. Police did not say what touched off the incident at 9:58 p.m. Jan. 5 at Roller Motion at 1609 Trexlertown Road. They also did not say whether the two girls knew each other. But they did say that a 15-year-old punched an 11-year-old girl in the face and stomach several times. There was no mention of injuries. The 15-year-old was charged with harassment through …

Fight would sound funny, if not an 11-yr-old, and maybe not-so-much even a 15-yr-old. Some schools, etc, supplied boxing gear for tensions. I wish that would come back.   more ›
