Former Luzerne County election director must pay fine for ethics code violation, state says

PLAINS TWP. &mdash; A man was jailed without bail on misdemeanor drug possession charges while township police and Luzerne County detectives investigated what was initially described as a suspicious death at 91 Cleveland St., but the county coroner later confirmed the individual died of natural causes.
				Police arrested Mark Giovine, 55, who lives at the residence, after finding a spoon and wax packets with white residue in his pockets, according to court records.
				Investigators became interested in speaking with Giovine during an investigation of what was previously described as a suspicious death inside the residence on Sunday.
				Luzerne County Coroner Frank Hacken confirmed Monday afternoon that the individual who was found deceased in the home died of natural causes, and the investigation had come to a close.
				Giovine was located on railroad tracks near George Avenue just after 5 p.m. and refused to obey verbal commands by investigators, court records say.
				During a pat-down search, investigators allegedly found a spoon and wax packets in his pocket.
				Once Giovine was taken to the township police department, he attempted to remove two wax packets containing a white substance, court records say.
				Giovine allegedly told investigators he uses multiple heroin packets a day.
				Court records filed against Giovine do not include information about the death investigation.
				Giovine was charged with misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia. He was arraigned by District Judge Joseph Spagnuolo Jr. in Plains Township who jailed him without bail citing two other drug possession cases pending in county court.
