Doctors urge Spain to use AstraZeneca vaccine more widely

DURYEA &mdash; A Nanticoke man was charged by Duryea police on allegations he crashed a stolen vehicle and took off on foot to avoid capture.
				Police in court records say Fawn Workman, 25, crashed a Honda into two occupied vehicles on Main Street and abandoned the wrecked vehicle in the middle of the street. The alleged incident happened Saturday.
				Police said the Honda was reported stolen to Scranton police 15 to 20 minutes prior to the crash, court records say.
				A credit card with Workman&rsquo;s name was found inside the stolen vehicle.
				A woman driving another Honda told police she was driving on Main Street when her vehicle was struck, noting the driver fled on foot. Prior to the crash when Workman abandoned the vehicle, another woman told police her vehicle was struck on Main Street.
				Police said the second woman was transported to a local hospital.
				In an unrelated case, according to court records, Workman is serving a one-year probation sentence imposed by Luzerne County Judge Joseph F. Sklarosky Jr. on Oct. 15, stemming from an incident with Wilkes-Barre police on July 9.
				In that case, Workman entered a woman&rsquo;s vehicle, ordered her to drop him off at the Intermodal Bus Terminal, which he told her to pass when he saw officers, court records say.
				After the woman called police, officers say Workman took off and was found hiding on Sambourne and Wood streets. Marijuana, methamphetamine and a syringe were found inside Workman&rsquo;s backpack, city police said in court records.
				Workman was sentenced to probation after he pleaded guilty to flight to avoid apprehension, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a small amount of marijuana and criminal mischief related to the Wilkes-Barre case.
				Duryea police charged Workman with flight to avoid apprehension, receiving stolen property, accidents involving injury, accidents involving damage to attended vehicle, abandoning vehicle on roadway and multiple other offenses. He was arraigned by District Judge Thomas F. Malloy Sr. in Wilkes-Barre and jailed at the Luzerne County Correctional Facility for lack of $15,000 bail.
				Scranton police charged Workman with robbery of a vehicle, theft and receiving stolen property.
