Tamaqua police charge resident after several disturbances reported

A Tamaqua man was sent to jail after police responded to numerous complaints about him yelling in the streets.

Police said they were dispatched to the 400 block of Hazle Street at 10:23 p.m. Aug. 27 because Edward Dalvet, 42, was yelling out loud and talking to his parked motor bike. Police received another call 15 minutes later because Dalvet was yelling that the ground was shaking and that the walls were cracked on his house.

Officers arrested Dalvet for disorderly conduct and warned him that if they were called again, he would be taken into custody for persistent disorderly conduct.

On Aug. 28, police were again dispatched to the area because Dalvet was making unreasonable noise.

Officers said they have received 13 calls this year for Dalvet causing disturbances. Police said they are concerned that Dalvet may endanger himself or others.

He was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge A.J. Serena on charges of persistent disorderly conduct and public drunkenness, and committed to the Schuylkill County Prison in lieu of $7,500 straight cash bail.
