Parking dispute leads to charges against Frackville neighbors
KAYLEE LINDENMUTH / SHENANDOAH SENTINEL FILE - A Frackville Police vehicle in August 2019.
FRACKVILLE – Two neighbors in a tight Frackville alleyway are facing charges after one placed a chair in the street, a dispute ensued, and a gun was allegedly shown.
The incident happened on Oct. 26, though Frackville Police filed charges on Nov. 9.
Chief Paul Olson filed charges against Erica Holloman, 32, of 523 Morris Street, and Lance Davidson, 56, of 526 Morris Street.
According to the criminal complaints filed against the two with Magisterial District Judge Edward Tarantelli, police were called around 9:46am on Oct. 26 for a reported disturbance.
Police were told that neighbors were arguing and a 911 calltaker heard yelling in the background.
Davidson told police, Olson wrote, that he was trying to park his truck, but a chair had been placed in the street in the parking space.
Holloman placed the chair there and the two exchanged words as she refused to remove it.
At that point, Davidson backed his truck into the chair, knocking it out of the way and nearly into Holloman.
Holloman then threw the chair at Davidson’s truck, causing damage, police said, which was estimated at $1,029.26.
Holloman said the chair was placed in the street after Davidson had left earlier to “make it easier for her boyfriend to leave the residence, as he is partially blind.”
When Davidson returned, the dispute ensued, and Holloman said Davidson raised his shirt to show a holstered firearm as an intimidation tactic. She also told police that parking disputes between the two were nothing new.
An unnamed witness corroborated Holloman’s statement that Davidson showed a firearm, adding that he did not hold it up or point it at anyone.
Holloman, police said, admitted to throwing the chair “in frustration.”
She is charged with criminal mischief and scattering rubbish. A preliminary hearing is set for Dec. 6.
Davidson is charged with reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct, and harassment. A preliminary hearing is also set for Dec. 6.
