Tamiir Ion Whitted, the Pottsville man charged in the West Brunswick Township road rage stabbing death in April, has a new hearing date.

Magisterial District Judge James R. Ferrier set 1 p.m. June 3 as next court appearance.

A preliminary hearing scheduled for Monday did not occur because he did not have a lawyer. Court documents show attorney David Scott Nenner, Philadelphia, is representing Whitted.

He remains in Schuylkill County Prison without bail because of the first- and third-degree murder charges in the death of George Marcincin of Orwigsburg on April 12 on Route 61 and north of Brick Hill Road.

He is also charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, fleeing or attempting to elude an officer, resisting arrest/other law enforcement, possessing an instrument of crime, and recklessly endangering another person.

Police were dispatched to the area when a witness called the Schuylkill County Communications Center saying she was watching the two men fight in the road. She saw Whitted stab Marcincin several times during the attack.

The woman said it appeared Marcincin was attempting to defend himself while Whitted seemed to be the aggressor. She noticed Whitted had a knife, which she said he used repeatedly to stab Marcincin even as he fell to the ground.

Other witnesses said the two had “seemed to be racing one another and cutting each other off for several miles in the southbound lanes of Route 61.”

Witnesses said Whitted stopped his vehicle across both lanes in front of Marcincin’s to prevent him from driving.

Whitted was apprehended while resisting arrest on Route 61 near the intersection with Chestnut Ridge Drive.

A Taser was used to gain compliance.
