President Judge Maria Musti Cook ordered Kevin Nagle, 46, of McSherrystown, to immediately begin completing the remainder of his sentence of one year minus one day to two years minus two days in York County Prison. He had been free on supervised bail pending the outcome of his appeal, which the Pennsylvania Supreme Court refused to hear in December.
The York County District Attorney’s Office, she noted, had asked for a sentence of three to six years in prison. Cook said she gave significant thought to the factors that she’s required to consider at sentencing and did not believe that she had jurisdiction to modify the punishment.

York City officials eye surveillance network to combat crime
York Dispatch
Widespread video surveillance could be York City s next strategy to fight crime, Police Commissioner Michael Muldrow said Monday.
Muldrow said local private organizations are interested in raising funds for a surveillance network similar to one already in place throughout Lancaster City. Those groups would secure the funding for the camera network, Muldrow said, and an independent organization would oversee it. I think that it will quickly become an invaluable tool, that if we would be able to pull it off in York, would dramatically impact our communities quickly, Muldrow said.

YORK, Pa. No criminal charges will be filed in the April 9, 2018 death of Everett Palmer Jr. while in the custody of York County Prison, the York County District Attorney’s Office said.
The announcement follows a two-year investigation into Palmer’s death, culminating in a 174-page report by an investigating grand jury.
Palmer, a 41-year-old from Seaford, Delaware, had was arrested for an outstanding 2016 DUI charge on April 7, 2018. He was being held on $5,000 bail until he could post 10 percent, or $500.
‘We were prepared to go wherever the investigation took us
The initial investigation into Palmer’s death left “more questions than answers,” Sunday said.
“From the beginning, we were prepared to go wherever the investigation took us,” Sunday said. “We did.”
In the early morning of April 7, 2018, West Lampeter Township police, in Lancaster County, arrested Palmer on an outstanding warrant in a DUI case, according to the grand jury report.
Palmer was later taken to York County Prison until he could post 10% of $5,000 bail. He also had to complete an evaluation for supervised bail, according to the report.
Two days later, Palmer “exhibited increasingly bizarre and self-injurious behavior.” Corrections officers removed him from his cell to receive medical attention, the report states, but he became unresponsive and died at York Hospital.
