WATSONTOWN – The mayor of Watsontown has been charged with criminal mischief for an incident dating back to September. State police say David Hontz removed a sign from a Watsontown resident’s yard on Main Street and threw it against their barn. He was charged this week by state police.
A group of residents in Watsontown have been trying to get Hontz to resign from his job for several months. A petition circulated in the borough last year, asking the mayor to resign, received hundreds of signatures. However, Hontz refused to do so, despite the petition. (Ali Stevens)
