Man Facing Firearms Charges
ASHLAND — According to Ashland Police, Timothy J. Stephens, of 1116 Brock St., was charged with one felony count of persons not to possess, transfer or use firearms and three misdemeanor counts of prohibited offensive weapons.
Police said on August 24, 2016 officers were called by Officer Robert Yotko of the Schuylkill County Adult Probation office asking for assistance for him and Officer Becky Bracey at Stephens' residence.
At the scene, police said the probation officers handed over a green and black case containing a .22LR RMJ revolver and said they were at the home to conduct a check on Stephens and saw .22 caliber ammunition in the living room.
The probation officers said when they asked Stephens if there were any weapons in the house, he told them that he had a handgun in a case behind a sofa in the living room. The case was pulled from behind the couch by the officers where they found the weapon inside.
Police said the weapon was assembled but had no ammunition in the cylinder, but there was a box of ammunition inside the case with the revolver.
During a search of the home, police said probation officers also found prohibited weapons in the form of a medieval-style mace weapon with a handle, chain and ball with protruding spikes as well as a PR-24 style police baton.
Stephens was read his rights and when questioned said he just had the mace and baton but another man had given him the revolver to hold for him.
The charges were filed October 27, 2016 with Magisterial District Judge Christina Hale.
Police said they learned that Stephens has a 2007 conviction for robbery that prohibits him from possessing a firearm.

Happy National Scrapple Day
People have a love/hate relationship with Scrapple. Either you really love it or you really hate it.
Scrapple gets its name from it being made with scraps of pork or other meat stewed with cornmeal and shaped into loaves for slicing and frying.
According to Wikipedia, The roots of the culinary traditions that led to the development of scrapple in America have been traced back to pre-Roman Europe.
The more immediate culinary ancestor of scrapple was the Low German dish called panhas, which was adapted to make use of locally available ingredients, and it is still called "Pannhaas," "panhoss," "ponhoss," or "pannhas" in parts of Pennsylvania.
The first recipes were created by German colonists who settled near Philadelphia and Chester County, Pennsylvania in the 17th and 18th centuries. As a result, scrapple is strongly associated with rural areas surrounding Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington D.C., eastern Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Southern New York, and the Delmarva Peninsula.
Its popularity on the Delmarva Peninsula is celebrated the second weekend of October during the annual "Apple Scrapple Festival" in Bridgeville, Delaware.
In composition, preparation, and taste, scrapple is similar to the white pudding popular in Ireland, Scotland, and parts of England and the spicier Hog's pudding of the West Country of England.
