An argument over taking out the trash preceded a double homicide in Cumberland County last month, according to testimony at the suspected gunman’s preliminary hearing this week.
An East Pennsboro police officer testified Thursday that someone called 911 and summoned police to John Miller’s home in the first block of Greenmont Drive at 6:39 p.m. April 10 on a domestic dispute. Officers arrived at 6:45 p.m. and talked to residents, including Miller, 78, who complained his daughter would not take out the trash and he wanted to kick her out of the house.

The main event on Cumberland County’s primary election ballot is the battle for an open judgeship in the county courts.
Two attorneys are seeking the bench seat currently occupied by Judge Tom Placey, who is battling a judicial misconduct case and opted against seeking a new 10-year term.
Placey has been charged with improper conduct in five cases in which, as the presiding judge, he lost his temper and berated litigants and attorneys. The judge, in his defense, has argued that his outbursts may were attributable to the effects of concussions that he suffered while playing college sports.
