Candidate finds it concerning outside law enforcement had to uncover the situation in Mount Carmel.
SUNBURY - The Republican candidate for Northumberland County district attorney is calling for an investigation into why the district attorney’s office failed to uncover what federal authorities say was the use of excessive force by Mount Carmel police officers.
Retired Lt. David Donkochik, 51, former Officer Jonathan McHugh and current officer Kyle Schauer are accused of depriving those in custody of their civil rights individually or with the others 22 times from 2018 to 2021. All the incidents listed in the indictment occurred during the administration of current district attorney and Mount Carmel resident Tony Matulewicz, he noted.
If proven true, these allegations jeopardize the convictions of all criminal defendants prosecuted by the Mount Carmel Police Department and will almost certainly lead to lawsuits that will be paid for at taxpayers’ expense, he said. O’Donnell ran unopposed in the May primary because Matulewicz failed to file his nominating papers on time.
