Police: Old Forge man burglarized Wayne County home, assaulted homeowner
An Old Forge man was charged with attacking a man in his Wayne County home and throwing a vacuum cleaner through a kitchen window. State police Trooper Ryan Joyce charged Curtis A. Strunk, 42, with multiple counts of felony aggravated assault and burglary, and a single count of felony criminal trespassing and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault. Troopers and paramedics responded to the Lehigh Twp. home during the early morning hours April 30 for a reported burglary in progress. They arrived to find the victim covered in blood, slipping in and out of consciousness, Joyce wrote in a criminal complaint. Authorities did not identify the victim, who was taken to Geisinger Community Medical Center in Scranton. During a search, Joyce found blood inside and outside the home and items strewn about the kitchen. The victim's daughter's boyfriend, who was in the home at the time, told troopers he was asleep when he heard a bang and came downstairs to find the victim covered in blood with lacerations on his head, according to the complaint. The victim's family members also told police two people exited the residence and threw a vacuum cleaner through the kitchen window. The boyfriend added he saw the front door forced open and two men on the street outside yelling. The victim's son told troopers he found two men, one of them on top of the victim, punching him. The victim grabbed a metal chair to defend himself and eventually got both men out of the house, according to the complaint. He then saw a vacuum come through the kitchen window. In an interview at the hospital, the victim told troopers he awoke to the sound of his dog barking and when he went downstairs, saw two men enter his residence, who then assaulted him, according to the complaint. The victim and his son forced the two men outside and the fighting continued, the complaint said. One of the responding troopers said in the complaint he had seen one of the men involved in the incident, Thomas Hermann, at a Citgo gas station in the township the day before the incident, and video surveillance footage from the store confirmed he was there. The victim later identified Strunk from a Facebook profile picture. Hermann was taken into custody May 1 and placed himself at the scene during an interview with troopers. He told them Tuesday he and Strunk arrived at the home on April 30, with Strunk kicking in the front door and assaulting the victim with a chair. Hermann also told troopers Strunk threw the vacuum cleaner through the window. The victim's relatives informed troopers they believed the incident began earlier at the Ariel View Inn when the victim took the apparel off one of the men involved in the burglary, threw the clothing on the ground and said 'someone should get a black eye.' Joyce also charged Strunk with two counts of simple assault, harassment and criminal mischief. Magisterial District Judge Bonnie Carney arraigned him on the charges Wednesday and set bail at $100,000, which he was unable to post. Strunk was taken to the Wayne County Correctional Facility, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday.

‘It's abhorrent': Barnaby Joyce vows to oppose Coalition on net zero at every turn after shadow cabinet axing while fiercely criticising moderate Liberals
Barnaby Joyce has railed against the concept of net zero, declaring he would do everything in his power to prevent the Coalition from embracing controversial emission reduction targets following his dumping from shadow cabinet. The ex-Nationals leader was one of many senior figures removed from the Coalition's new look ministry and will now join fellow former deputy prime minister Michael McCormack on the backbench. Mr Joyce blasted Nationals leader David Littleproud's shock decision to exit the Coalition last week and was the most outspoken Nationals figure against the move. He also lashed Mr Littleproud's claim the shadow cabinet shake-up represented a 'generational change', noting the majority of those replacing him were, in fact, older than he was. However, in one of his first on air appearances since the brutal demotion, Mr Joyce embraced the fact he was no longer bound by shadow cabinet solidarity and unloaded on the Coalition's net zero policy, labelling emissions reduction targets a 'great scam'. 'I fervently don't agree with this, I think it's abhorrent and I think it makes our nation weaker, and we've got to fight against it,' Mr Joyce told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. Mr Joyce, who has been a long-time critic of net zero emissions, added the policy was 'mad' and the Coalition needed to 'throw the rule book out the window'. The New England MP also denounced Liberal moderates, including Victorian MP and newly appointed shadow education minister Zoe Mckenzie, for arguing the party needed to take a firm stance on the issue to recapture centrist voters who had abandoned the Coalition. 'We in New England have become the garbage can of your virtue, we are not there to deal with the detritus of your wishes that you'd never wish to be in your electorate,' Mr Joyce said. He then encouraged the few remaining inner city Liberal MPs to erect renewable energy infrastructure in their urban electorates, as opposed to relying on rural areas. 'If you wish for wind towers with the microplastics then put them up off on your beaches, you certainly can do that,' Mr Joyce said. 'Put the transmission lines across your suburbs, you certainly can do that, live your virtue, do not be a hypocrite.' When pressed if he was considering a departure from politics after his ministerial relegation Mr Joyce insisted he still had 'two big tasks' to complete - those being to 'look after the people of the New England and the Upper Hunter' and to 'fight against net zero'. 'Unfortunately, you've got the Labor Party, the Liberal Party, the Greens, and my own society at the moment, the Nationals, all believing in net zero,' he said. 'So where are you going to get the no argument from? How do you deal with this? How does an intelligent person hear the contrarian view and make an assessment of the facts presented to them?' The Coalition has appeared to edge away from its commitment to net zero emissions by 2050 following its reunification, with Opposition Leader Sussan Ley telling Sky News on Thursday that removing the nuclear moratorium would be the 'first step' in a broader energy reset.

Watch: Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan investigate in 'Thursday Murder Club'
May 29 (UPI) -- Netflix is teasing The Thursday Murder Club starring Helen Mirren and Pierce Brosnan. The actors, who also star opposite one another in MobLand, portray retirees Elizabeth and Ron, who enjoy solving cold cases alongside Ibrahim (Ben Kingsley) and Joyce (Celia Imrie). The film takes its inspiration from Richard Osman's 2020 book, and follows the group as "their casual sleuthing takes a thrilling turn when they find themselves with a real whodunit on their hands," according to an official synopsis. "There's been a murder, an actual murder," Joyce says in the trailer released Thursday. "Now we've got a real case to solve. Isn't it wonderful? Obviously, RIP and all that." Chris Columbus, known for his work on Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, directs the film. "This is the finest cast I've worked with since Potter," he told Netflix's Tudum. "They're just so incredibly well-prepared, and it's because they do everything. They do theater, they do television, they do film, and they've developed those sorts of muscles." "Thematically it's interesting that we've got four elderly people who are living in a retirement community and who are fascinated by death and murder," he said. "They are facing their own demise, yet at the same time they are obsessed with studying cold cases. I fell in love thematically with that. It's comedic, but it's also very emotional." Naomi Ackie, Daniel Mays, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, Tom Ellis, Jonathan Pryce, David Tennant, Paul Freeman, Geoff Bell, Richard E. Grant and Ingrid Oliver also star in the film, which arrives on Netflix Aug. 28.
