Man Brought Gun Into the Lackawanna County Courthouse

[SFMarine]

There is new information about a man who got a gun inside the Lackawanna County courthouse in Scranton late Saturday night.

Downtown streets were closed at the time and the courthouse was surrounded by police.


The district attorney's office said Monday a man who was brought in on a suspected DUI in Jermyn had a small gun tucked into his underwear.

Eugene Zawisky of Browndale allegedly pointed that gun at two sheriff's deputies, was then wrestled to the ground and broke his arm.

Zawisky was subdued before any shots were fired and is in the hospital at this time.

He will then be taken to the Lackawanna County jail.

I guess they are real good at spotting and confiscating OC firearms from law abiding citizens and not so much at CC firearms on arrested suspects out that way.

What does Lackawanna mean BTW? I keep thinking "Yeah, Lackawanna go there!"
