Old Forge man cited for dumping cat litter TAYLOR — The world was his oyster, and Northeastern Pennsylvania apparently his litter box. Donald J. Klens, 63, was apprehended Sunday night and will be cited for tossing hundreds upon hundreds of grocery bags full of dirty cat litter along streets in Taylor, Old Forge and Scranton. Mr. Klens, of Old Forge, could face 500 counts of littering with fines of $300 each when all is said and done, Taylor Patrolman Rob Zuby said. For two months, police in full camouflage hid in the woods and staked out spots in unmarked cars along Union Street, Keyser Avenue and near Stauffer Industrial Park. “He was hard to get,” Officer Zuby said. “You never knew when he was going to do it.” Police said Mr. Klens, who owns eight cats and would also take dirty litter from his neighbor’s garbage, would drive by with a pile of bags in his passenger seat, throwing dozens out the window. They said he had a pattern, keeping to weekend nights, but he watched for police. Police said Mr. Klens admitted to littering for the past several months, but officials say this has been happening for two years. Mr. Klens was nabbed at 8:30 Sunday night and released with charges pending. He gave no explanation, police said. “It’s one of the strangest cases I’ve ever worked,” Officer Zuby said.

Seahawks Fan — and Fast Food Cook — Arrested for Spitting on Steeler Fan's Burger A 24-year-old South Kitsap man — and self-proclaimed Seattle Seahawks fan — was arrested Sunday for allegedly spitting on the hamburger he prepared for a man wearing Pittsburgh Steelers attire, according to Kitsap County Sheriff's Office reports. Deputies said the 37-year-old man in Steelers garb took his daughters to a Mile Hill Drive fast food restaurant Saturday evening, and "began trading friendly barbs about his team and their victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XL," reports said. One employee told the man that he'd "better not say that to the guy that's making your food," but the man thought it was a joke, reports said. That is, until he opened his "clamshell-style" hamburger container and discovered what he called a "loogie" on his hamburger. The 37-year-old told his daughters to stop eating, demanded a refund and called the restaurant's district manager. A deputy was informed by the manager that the person responsible may be a 24-year-old South Kitsap man who was near his quitting time when the incident occurred. He also failed to show up for work the next day, the manager said. The deputy went to the 24-year-old's house, and when he knocked on the door, a voice from inside yelled that he "wasn't buying any ... girl scout cookies," the deputy said. The deputy told him, "I won't sell you any," and when the man opened the door, the deputy "was immediately confronted with the strong odor of burnt marijuana." Eventually, the man brought the deputy a bag of marijuana and he was arrested. The man also confessed to spitting in the 37-year-old's hamburger container to "gross him out ... because he was a Steelers fan," deputies said. He was booked into the Kitsap County jail for fourth-degree assault and possession of marijuana and released.
