Butler Twp. Police have filed charges against a Scranton man following an early morning incident and search on Four Seasons Drive in Beech Mountain Lakes.

The department’s drone was then used to search for Davis who was located near a storage shed.
Davis, who was intoxicated, showed signs of a head injury and paramedics from Valley Regional EMS responded.
While being transported to the hospital, Davis became combative and and jumped out of the ambulance near the Hazleton City Police Headquarters.
