David DeCristo lives near Canton has several leases with Chesapeake.
He says five million dollars is nothing for the company, one of the country s largest producers of gas. I mean, that s a joke,” said DeCristo from LeRoy Township. “From what I could tell, the attorney general tried to get what they could, but from what I understand, the Texas courts has allowed this to happen.”
The attorney general s office accused Chesapeake of using a bait-and-switch tactic, promising landowners a percentage of its profit but would then add on additional charges that would drain the royalties.

BUCKINGHAM TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) Police say a prolific crime spree lasting more than a year is now over.
Buckingham Township police report the arrest of 32-year-old Keith Johnson of Yardley. He is accused of breaking into more than 1,000 cars across 13 municipalities in Bucks County and 10 municipalities in New Jersey. Just the sheer volume and the sheer geography and the scope of it - this was a very, very active criminal, said Bucks County District Attorney Matt Weintraub. No place was left safe. He not only crossed county borders, he crossed state borders as well.

One of the things the anti-gunners have been on a crusade about is so-called “ghost guns.” They’re alarmed that anyone can sell an incomplete receiver to someone else, who can then turn it into a functional firearm. It’s a hobby for a large number of Americans, something they do to relax and have a good time in their workshop.
Yet there’s been a huge panic in the media about ghost guns, there doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of specifics of criminals using them.
The Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office has brought charges against four Philadelphia men who are accused of purchasing kits to build and sell untraceable firearms from a gun show in Berks County.

BUCKS COUNTY, PA A Yardley man was arrested Friday by the Buckingham Township Police Department following a year-long investigation into thefts from unlocked parked in Bucks County and ten municipalities in New Jersey.
Keith Johnson, 32, faces felony charges of burglary, theft and criminal trespassing, along with dozens of misdemeanor counts of loitering and prowling at night time.
Police believe Johnson is responsible for thefts as far back as February 2020, when a number residents in Buckingham Township started reporting lost items from their unlocked vehicles, Buckingham police said in a press release Friday. Surveillance video from the thefts showed a man wearing a gaiter mask, dark sweatpants, gloves and carrying a satchel stealing items from cars.
Centre County District Attorney Bernie Cantorna is running for a second term as the county’s top prosecutor.
Cantorna, the first announced candidate for district attorney in the May 18 primary, first won election in 2017 when he defeated incumbent Stacy Parks Miller in the Democratic primary and ran unopposed on the ballot in the general election.
“Four years ago, I announced my candidacy for Centre County District Attorney because our legal system was in crisis,” Cantorna said in a statement on Monday. “During my first term, our office has worked diligently to restore public trust by building a dedicated team of staff and lawyers who work hard every day to hold the guilty accountable, protect the innocent and preserve the dignity of victims and their families.”
