A 47-year-old man has been arrested and charged with criminal homicide following a deadly shooting in Blakeslee last Thursday. Eric Chisolm was taken into custody after 45-year-old Joanne Beauvais, a resident of Lackawanna County, was found with multiple gunshot wounds. Beauvais was transported to Lehigh Valley Hospital-Pocono, where she was later pronounced dead.

The Monroe County Coroner’s Office confirmed the cause of death as multiple gunshot wounds and officially ruled the case a homicide. Following his arrest, Chisolm was denied bail and is currently being held at the Monroe County Jail. Court records indicate that a preliminary hearing has been scheduled for March 10 to determine if there is enough evidence for the case to proceed to trial.
