Da Files To Have Bail Revoked For Alleged Turkey Hill Robber

WILKES-BARRE — The Luzerne County District Attorney’s Office filed Tuesday to revoke the bail of an accused convenience store robber. Joshua Pierce, 29, of Ashley, was arrested in August after police say he admitted to robbing the Turkey Hill on Hazle Street in Wilkes-Barre. Tuesday’s filing states that Pierce said he used the money from the robbery to buy heroin. He was released on $10,000 unsecured bail on the condition that he reports to the Day Reporting Center and complies with the program, according to the filing by District Attorney Stefanie Salavantis and Assistant District Attorney Mary G Phillips. But prosecutors allege in the filing that Pierce has failed to comply with the program. The prosecutors say that Pierce has shown an inability to comply with the conditions imposed on him, and that they have “serious concerns” for the safety of the community. .neFileBlock { margin-bottom: 20px; } .neFileBlock p { margin: 0px 0px 0px 0px; } .neFileBlock .neFile { border-bottom: 1px dotted #aaa; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 10px; } .neFileBlock .neCaption { font-size: 85%; } http://timesleader.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/web1_web1_law1-4.jpg By Patrick Kernan pkernan@timesleader.com Reach Patrick Kernan at 570-991-6386 or on Twitter @PatKernan The post DA files to have bail revoked for alleged Turkey Hill robber appeared first on Times Leader.
