Nesquehoning incident

Danielle Diane Eremus

, 29, of Nesquehoning, pleaded to one count of possession of drug paraphernalia and a companion charge of false identification to law enforcement.

On March 23, Nesquehoning police went to 85 W. Ridge St. to serve a warrant on Eremus in another matter. As police arrived, they saw her leaving the residence. She was stopped by officers and gave a false name, then fled on foot, but was eventually taken into custody.

They returned to the residence where the owner said she was staying in a room at the home and that police could search it. Drug paraphernalia was found in the room.

On the false ID charge, Matika sentenced her to time-served in the county prison (87 days) to one year and ordered her to get a drug and alcohol evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment, zero tolerance for drug and alcohol use and render 50 hours of community service.

On the drug count, she was placed on probation for a year, consecutive to the first count.
