Police reported a 15-year-old Shamokin male, a 13-year-old Coal Township male, a 16-year-old Coal Township male, a 17-year-old Coal Township male and a 17-year-old Danville male were walking on township streets at 1:57 a.m., a time when it is prohibited to do so by juveniles.

Insurance fraud
SHAMOKIN - Christian Lee Kehler, 31, of 1114 N. Shamokin St., Shamokin, was arraigned at 2:30 p.m. Thursday by Magisterial District Judge John Gembic III on charges of insurance fraud and criminal attempt to commit theft by deception.
According to a criminal complaint filed by Special Agent Clinton Wagner of the state Attorney General's Office, Kehler is accused of filing an auto insurance claim with All State Insurance Co. for his 1999 Ford Ranger truck for a crash involving a deer, in which Kehler claimed the driver's side airbag deployed. But a subsequent investigation revealed the airbag had deployed in a previous crash with another owner of the vehicle and had not been replaced.
All State denied Kehler's claim, however, had it been paid, the total loss to the insurance company would have been $862.65, according to Wagner.
The offenses occurred between Nov. 17 and Dec. 26.
Kehler was released by Gembic on $5,000 bail, but he was later committed to Northumberland County Prison in Sunbury on a probation violation.
