Police: Disturbance at Cherry and Main Results in Arrests

On Aug. 11 at 3:41am police say officers responded to a report of a fight at Cherry Lane and Main Street.

Police said in a press release that when officers arrived, they observed a group of people standing around a maroon Hyundai SUV, arguing loudly with its male operator and a passenger. As an officer exited his vehicle, the individuals who were outside the Hyundai attempted to flee the scene, but were ordered to stop and return, police said.

Ultimately, the driver of the SUV--who police identified as Quran Hughes, of the 300 block of West Wilkes Barre Street, Easton--was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol while being under 21 years of age, police said.

Five other individuals were cited for disorderly conduct, including: 

• Michael Barndt Jr., of the 100 block of Reese Street, Easton
• Shane Tettemer, of the 6600 block of North Main Street, Upper Saucon Township
• Jared Robert Ritter, of the 3500 block of McCloskey Avenue, Lower Saucon Township
• Daniel Mahl, of the 1700 block of RR1, Saylorsburg
• Hannah Chromczak, of the 2600 block of Crestline Drive, Lower Saucon Township

Police did not say what precipitated the argument between the two groups.
