A Lehighton man is accused of forging and cashing a $250 check of a Nazareth resident who allowed him to live in his house after he said he had nowhere to go.

The man invited Hosler to live in his home “after finding out from [Hosler] that he had no other place to reside.” The records list Hosler’s address as being in Lehighton, Carbon County.

A New Jersey man has been charged with allegedly stealing three gold chains from a Palmer Park Mall jewelry store.
Palmer Township police have made an arrest in a February 2012 robbery of a Palmer Park Mall jewelry store, and they appear to have found their man—in a New Jersey prison with an extensive criminal record. Brad Eric Maxwell, 39, was sentenced in November to three years in a New Jersey state prison for forging checks from a Warren County church and stealing from two county stores, according to a published report. The Belvidere resident, who said at the November sentencing that he has a drug addiction, previously had been convicted in Warren County of plotting to kill an acquaintance. And in a previous Northampton County case, he pleaded guilty to stealing an 80-year-old woman’s purse in downtown Easton. On Wednesday, Maxwell was arraigned in…

Richard Lovell, of Palmer Township, is accused of stealing $6,000 from his boss' Tatamy home because he needed “to pay off some people that were going to hurt his family.”
Richard Lovell kept insisting to police he did not take the $6,000 stolen from his boss’ house in Tatamy. In fact, the man said, someone had stolen $700 from his wallet. Also, he wanted to get $3,000 and give it to his boss “because he felt bad.” But a Tatamy police officer had his suspicions. It seemed Lovell, who had recently moved into his boss’ home, “had more to tell but was holding something back,” Keith A. Snyder wrote in a criminal complaint. Snyder took Lovell, 23, to the borough police station. After prodding him with questions, Lovell later confessed to taking the money. The reason? “To pay off some people that were going to hurt his family,” the complaint says. Snyder’s role in the case began Friday afternoon, when he arrived …
