Michael Koble, 19, is facing charges after Stockertown police discover his alleged illegal living situation.
A 19-year-old man tried to convince a Stockertown police officer he does not live in a tent the officer found pitched on private property, insisting he stays with his friend in neighboring Tatamy.

Tiffany Litchfield, of Bushkill Township, was arrested at gunpoint earlier this year in Easton. She's again facing charges after allegedly charging $220 to a Stockertown man's debit/credit card without permission.
A Stockertown man told police that Tiffany Litchfield is a “family friend” but he didn’t authorize her to charge $220 on his debit/credit card, court records say. Police got in touch with Litchfield -- who was arrested at gunpoint earlier this year in Easton -- but she never showed up for an interview and wouldn’t return an officer’s calls. That was in early June. On Friday, the Bushkill Township resident was arraigned on several charges and ended up in Northampton County Prison. A criminal complaint filed by Stockertown Officer Alex Soloe says that on June 7, he spoke to Donald Good of Bushkill Street about $220 taken without authorization from his debit/credit card. Good said he got two unauthorized transactions from Western Union for $…
