Two Carbon County residents admitted to two counts each of driving under the influence on Thursday in the county court.

They were two of three defendants in pending DUI-related cases to enter a guilty plea before Judge Steven R. Serfass.

Vehicle stops

David Edward Furry II

, 31, of Jim Thorpe, also pleaded guilty to one count each of possession of a controlled substance - heroin, and operating a vehicle without a valid inspection. In that case another DUI count was dropped in a plea bargain with the district attorney’s office.

Furry, who is an inmate in the county prison on the charges, was arrested for the DUI’s on Dec. 3, 2015, along North Street; and Feb. 27, 2016, along Second Street, both in Lehighton. Charges were filed by state police at Lehighton. In both cases tests revealed the presence of a controlled substance.

The drug charge stems from a Feb. 2, 2017, incident in Lehighton where borough police made a traffic stop along the 400 block of North Second Street. Heroin was found. The summary offense of the inspection violation is another vehicle stop along Bridge Street by Lehighton police.

Serfass deferred sentencing so Furry can obtain a drug and alcohol evaluation.

Second case

Megan Elizabeth Creveling,

21, of Lansford, pleaded to two counts of DUI and one count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

She was arrested on the DUI counts on April 13, 2018, along Market Street by Nesquehoning police and on May 21, 2018, along Centre Avenue by Jim Thorpe police. In both cases tests revealed the presence of a controlled substance. The drug charge stems from the April 13 incident when police took her into custody and they found the paraphernalia.

Sentencing was deferred so she can obtain a drug and alcohol evaluation.

Other pleas

Andrew Arnold

, 30, of Brodheadsville, was arrested for DUI on May 28, 2018, along Delaware Avenue by Palmerton. A test revealed the presence of a controlled substance.

Serfass sentenced him to serve 90 days to 60 months in prison, pay a fine of $1,000, suspended his license for 18 months, get a mental health evaluation and follow any recommendation for treatment and render 100 hours of community service.

He was given credit for seven days already served and began the prison term immediately.
