Former Allentown cop charged with beating suspects in custody

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

A recently-fired Allentown police officer was charged Monday with beating two suspects who were in police custody.


According to Lehigh County District Attorney James Martin, the former officer, Ryan Gabriele Alles, 28, of Quakertown, Pa., is charged with two felony counts of aggravated assault in the first degree, and two misdemeanor counts of simple assault in the second degree. News of the charges were released during a press conference Monday afternoon and in a companion news release.


Alles was hired by Allentown Police in January, 2013 and fired from the department on Friday.


According to Martin, the first suspect, Robert Fontanez, told investigators that Alles Tased him at least three times and then kicked him in his eye, head and ribs. Fontanez was arrested after a brief foot chase on the morning of June 12. 2014.


Fontanez lost consciousness, suffered vision loss and required four sutures to his left eyebrow, according to a press release from Martin's office.


That morning, police were looking for a suspected bank robber when Alles chased and arrested Fontanez, who did not match the suspect's description, Martin said in the release. Fontanez, was later charged with resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, possession of a controlled substance and public drunkenness, but those charges were dropped after Alles failed to show up to a hearing, Martin said.


Fontanez was not involved in the bank robbery, Martin said.


The second alleged beating took place on Dec. 18, 2014.


According to Martin, Allentown Police arrested Raul Roman after he allegedly stole a car. Martin said police chased Roman, who crashed the vehicle near Fourth and Liberty streets, then fled on foot. After his hands were placed behind his back and handcuffed, Roman said he was kicked in the head, Martin said.


Officers on the scene told investigators they saw Alles use a closed fist to strike Roman three times in his head and then kicked him up to three times in his head, according to Martin.


Roman has injuries to his head and needed three staples to close a wound, according to the district attorney's office.

Health Beat: Focused ultrasound: Heating up brain tumors

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

Cynthia Tibbetts was diagnosed with breast cancer 12 years ago. She’s been fighting for her life ever since, with her husband by her side.


"Half of our marriage has been fighting cancer," said James Tibbetts, Cynthia's husband.


"I was diagnosed stage-four," Cynthia said.


She's had surgery, chemotherapy and radiation, but the cancer has come back again and again. The last scans showed it spread to Cynthia's brain.


"Six brain tumors. I mean, you talk about getting the wind knocked out of you," James explained.


Now, doctors are performing a clinical trial on a new way to treat cancer that's spread to the brain. It's called focused ultrasound.


"What we do is we shoot these ultrasound beams into a target deeper than the brain," explained Dr. Stephen Monteith, neurosurgeon at Swedish Neuroscience Institute at Swedish Medical Center in Seattle, Washington.


The device delivers more than 1,000 beams of ultrasound. The cancer cells heat up to about 190 degrees Fahrenheit and die. Doctors perform MRIs during the treatment.


"We actually can watch during the MRI scan while the patients’ receiving the treatment as the tumor heats up," said Dr. Charles Cobbs, neurosurgeon at Swedish Neuroscience Institute.


Unlike radiation, the ultrasound doesn't damage healthy tissue, and unlike surgery, there's no cutting. Cynthia hopes the new technology will help people like her. She was given six months to live three years ago and is still fighting, and living.


"I want to encourage people to continue to live their lives well. You know, whatever life you have, live it well," Cynthia exclaimed.


Patients are awake for the procedure and feel only warmth on their head.


At four sites around the country, the focused ultrasound technology is being studied for brain tumors that have spread. The technology is also being looked at for patients with Parkinson’s disease and essential tremor.

A state police trooper initially stopped a Dodge Durango on Saturday for driving two miles in the left lane of I-78 in Bethel Township, while the right lane remained unoccupied, according to court documents.


The vehicle's driver, Tivon Rice, and his passenger, Daryl Winfree, told the trooper they were on their way from the Bronx, New York, to a friend's home in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Maryland man charged in woman's stabbing death

♠ Posted by channel-top-news in ,,,,,,,

A body found in Lehigh County early Sunday is now a homicide investigation and a Maryland man has been arrested.


According to court documents, police were sent around 4:15 a.m. to check out a suspicious vehicle parked in the 5700 block of Haasdahl Road in Upper Macungie Township. The car apparently looked to have a large volume of blood inside.


When officers arrived at the scene, the vehicle was gone, but officers noticed "a ground disturbance" with loosely packed dirt and snow where the car had been.


Just before 6 a.m., police determined that a body was buried at that site.


South Whitehall officers found the vehicle in the area of Applewood and Huckleberry roads. The car had been driven off the road and partially into a pond.


The Ford Freestyle did appear to have a large volume of blood inside and was registered to David Silvonek of the 1500 block of Randi Lane, officials said.


When police arrived at the Silvonek residence, they found David Silvonek, a 14-year-old girl and 20-year-old Caleb Barnes, of Fort Meade, Maryland.


Police discovered Barnes in an upstairs bedroom with the teenager, and she told police she and Barnes had sex twice in the previous 24 hours.


During a police interview, Barnes said he stabbed Cheryl Silvonek in the neck, causing her death.


He said the stabbing took place in the Ford while it was parked in the driveway of the Randi Lane house, court documents say.


Barnes said he drove the dead woman in the Ford to the Haasdahl Road location to dispose of the body, and the teen girl went along, officials said.


Barnes buried the body along Haasdahl Road, then Barnes and the girl walked back to the house on Randi Lane.


The Lehigh County coroner's office confirmed that Cheryl Silvonek died of multiple stab wounds to the neck. Her death was ruled a homicide.


Barnes was charged with criminal homicide, statutory sexual assault, and abuse of corpse.
