An East Penn Township man who became unruly and was escorted from a public meeting is set to appear in court.
Walter Zlomsowitch, 75, of 2001 Ben Salem Road, Andreas is scheduled to have his preliminary hearing at 10 a.m. Thursday before District Judge Bruce Appleton of Palmerton.
Zlomsowitch faces one charge of disorderly conduct for an incident that occurred during a meeting of the township's board of supervisors last month at the East Penn Social Hall.
The incident occurred at 5:45 p.m. on Feb. 1, after Zlomsowitch said the township forfeited a $62,000 grant, at which time he was removed from the meeting by a police officer who was in attendance.
The money Zlomsowitch referred to was for Eidem Road, and had to be forfeited because grants have a time limitation and the money was not spent within the limit.
Zlomsowitch was removed for disrupting a public meeting after being advised to stop his actions on several occasions, according to township police officer Al Beischline, who cited him for disorderly conduct.

Just my opinion, isnt it odd that a resident gets arrested after raisng cane about Eidem rd. not being repaved or maintained, when Supervisor Truhe lives on Eidem rd. , and then has to go before District Judge Appleton, who Truhe is friends with and brought to the area for deer hunting. Why wouldnt you repave it with grant money or local tax dollars????????????????
Little known fact Eidem rd has a dry hydrant for aiding fire co. with a supply of water for use battaling fires in the local rural areas.
Keep up the great work East Penn Tws !!!!
