Police in Kingston have charged Luzerne County Councilman Stephen J. Urban with simple assault and evidence tampering. Police say Urban allegedly threatened juveniles with a baseball bat during an altercation near his home on North Sprague Avenue last month. It's reported part of the altercation was caught on neighbor's security camera and that Urban allegedly asked for the video to be deleted. The D.A.'s office has referred the matter to the state Attorney General's office because they interact with council in county business. No date for a preliminary hearing has been set.
