Man Sentenced For Role In Hit and Run Coverup

WILKES-BARRE — A man who covered up evidence in a deadly hit and run in Luzerne County was sentenced to time already served.

Daniel Antonini of Wilkes-Barre is currently free on parole.

Antonini tampered with evidence when he helped power wash a car involved in a hit and run in Pittston Township in 2012 that killed two people on a motorcycle.

The driver of the vehicle, Walter Raven of Jenkins Township, pleaded guilty earlier this month to charges related to the deadly crash.

Having Fun, Raising Cash For A Young Boy

HANOVER TOWNSHIP — A benefit filled with lots of entertainment was held at Screwballs Bar and Grill in Hanover Township for Jayden May, 8, who was diagnosed with type one diabetes about two years ago.

He has a service dog named Rocky who’s trained to let the family know if Jayden’s blood sugar levels are too low but that dog’s pretty costly.

Jayden’s uncle tells us the family was hoping this fundraiser would help with some of the cost.

“We have a ton of bands here at Screwballs and it’s just a big group of the community coming together and a bunch of bands, 40 lb. Head, Mr. Echo, Breakdown Jimmy. We’re all trying to raise some money for a good cause and have a good time,” said Dave Evans.

There was also plenty of food and raffle baskets at the event.

Tough as Steel, Bar Owner Bounces Back From Fire

EXETER — After one local tavern keeper lost his Steelers bar to a fire, he needed some teamwork to get back in business.

“They smashed the window, and it was like a big bomb, it was gone it was just gone,” said bar owner, Francesco “Cuz” Stuppino.

When Cuz’s Bar and Grill in Luzerne County went up in flames fire last April, owner Francesco “Cuz” Stuppino felt like all was lost.

Just a few of his beloved Pittsburgh Steelers collectibles could be saved, and his insurance only covered the basics.

The 67 year old who still makes pasta sauce from scratch every Sunday thought it might be time to retire, until a member of the Steel City Mafia Fan Club got the word out.

“Regular people began sending letters from all over. I got them from Arizona, I got them from Alaska, with a $25 donation because we started a Cuz’s fire fund,” said Stuppino.
