SCRANTON -- The federal trial for a 28-year-old McAdoo man accused in a three-month crime spree across six states will continue next week.
U.S. District Judge Robert D. Mariani is expected to give the case against Shawn Christy to a jury Monday, said Dawn Clark, a spokeswoman for the U.S. attorney’s office.
Christy is accused of breaking into several homes and businesses and stealing several vehicles after he failed to appear for trial on assault charges in Schuylkill County in May 2018. Two months later, he was charged with making threats against President Donald Trump, Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli and other law enforcement officials.
After a manhunt, authorities captured Christy on Sept. 21, 2018 in Ohio.
