Assistant fire chief killed in Exeter Township shooting

WILKES-BARRE &mdash; State police at Hazleton have cited District Judge Daniel O&rsquo;Donnell with harassment after investigating an incident involving his 80-year-old father-in-law.
				Luzerne County President Judge Michael T. Vough said he issued a court order just before 12 p.m. transferring all criminal cases from O&rsquo;Donnell to District Judge Joseph Zola in Hazleton.
				Vough said O&rsquo;Donnell, 51, of Butler Township, can continue to preside over civil and traffic matters.
				The harassment citation filed against O&rsquo;Donnell is graded as a summary.
				District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis in response to an inquiry from the Times Leader three weeks ago stated her office received a complaint about O&rsquo;Donnell that she referred to the state police at Hazleton.
				When reached early Friday afternoon, O&rsquo;Donnell said on advice of his attorney he won&rsquo;t provide any comment and plans to plead not guilty. He refused to provide the name of his lawyer.
				O&rsquo;Donnell was elected district judge in the 1999 campaign and took office in January 2000 serving Butler Township, Conyngham Borough, Conyngham Township, Sugarloaf Borough and Sugarloaf Township. He was formally a police officer for Butler Township. 
				Vough said he will request the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts to assign a magisterial district judge from outside Luzerne County to preside over the summary trial.
