According to a report from Cleona Borough police, officers were dispatched to the area of South Center Street at around 11 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 17, for a suspicious person. The caller reported an individual walking in the street displaying a knife, the release said.
Police Chief Jeffrey Farneski and Officer John Maldonando, school resource officer for the Annville-Cleona School District, responded to the scene. According to the report, “the subject was argumentative and refused to provide identification. He was arrested after he trespassed on Cleona Elementary School property.”
