Most serious charge dropped...




The most serious charge against a Pottsville man in connection with a stabbing, in Saint Clair, in April, was withdrawn by prosecutors on Tuesday. 

According to the Republican Herald, 34 year old John Derwood Berger is charged with stabbing Jesse Troutman on April 9. After the assault, Berger fled the scene and could not be located in the days following the attack. He was picked up later in the month by U.S. Marshals in the Summit Station area. 

Prosecutors withdrew the attempted criminal homicide charge with Berger waiving the remaining offenses to Schuylkill County Court, where he can now plead guilty or enter a not guilty plea and request a trial.
