Lansford man pleads in 3 cases

A Lansford man entered guilty pleas in Carbon County court on Thursday afternoon before Judge Steven R. Serfass in three pending criminal cases.

Dylan Joseph Lavecchia, 22, entered pleas to two counts each of access device fraud and theft, and one count each of corruption of a minor, possession of a controlled substance, possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.The access device and theft counts stems from an Aug. 12, 2014, incident in Palmerton in which he used a stolen credit card to make purchases involving three victims. He was previously placed in the county's Accelerated Rehabilitation Disposition probation program but was revoked based on new criminal charges.The corruption count stems from an Aug. 6, 2015, incident when state police responded to an underage drinking party report in Franklin Township. Troopers said Lavecchia admitted buying beer for the party which had minors attending. The drug counts stem from a March 7 incident filed by Lehighton police following a vehicle stop in which various drugs were found in the vehicle operated by Lavecchia.Sentencing was deferred because Lavecchia has two more criminal cases pending.
