The assault occurred at Straub’s home at 626 Crawley Hill in Penn Township about noon on Dec. 14, police said.

State Rep. Joe Hamm, R-Hepburn Township, visited the Muncy Township Supervisors’ meeting to meet with residents and offer an update on what’s going on in Harrisburg through the first few months of his tenure representing parts of Lycoming County and to also address an issue that occurred before he took office, the rescinded motorycle ride in memory of the Set. 11 attacks.
Hamm criticized PennDOT, saying the state agency will come down on municipalities to make arbitrary changes within a limited time frame, but delay for years on-end to fix problems on state-owned roads.
One instance of this, according to Hamm, was the annual 9-11 memorial ride in the Muncy area during 2020. PennDOT found a regulation on their books that required each municipality the memorial ride travelled through to approve and carry insurance and also hold harmless PennDOT during the event.
