Police: Man assaults woman inside hotel room, punches officer as he fled ambulance

HANOVER TWP. &mdash; A Wilkes-Barre man allegedly caught with marijuana and methamphetamine told township police he was selling pot to make money during quarantine, according to court records.
				Township police said they stopped a vehicle driven by Kyle M. Uravage, 24, on Sans Souci Parkway on Saturday when a check on the car&rsquo;s registration showed he was wanted by the Luzerne County Sheriff&rsquo;s Department.
				Court records say Uravage was wanted when the county&rsquo;s probation department filed a violation of his sentence imposed in April 2019 on a child corruption charge.
				During the traffic stop, police detected an odor of marijuana coming from Uravage&rsquo;s vehicle.
				Police allege they found suspected methamphetamine in a folded $1 bill, four bags of marijuana, a metal grinder with marijuana residue, a digital scale, packaging materials, and $262 in cash, court records say.
				Uravage told police he is unemployed and only sells &ldquo;weed&rdquo; and needed &ldquo;to make money during the quarantine,&rdquo; according to court records.
				Uravage allegedly admitted he uses a cell phone for drug transactions.
				Uravage, of Oak Street, was arraigned by District Judge David Barilla Jr. in Wyoming on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, possession of a controlled substance and possession of a small amount of marijuana. He was jailed at the county correctional facility for lack of $10,000 bail and also on the warrant by the adult probation department.
