MILFORD - A pretrial agreement that resolved a series of charges against Eleanore "Nelia" Wall and her husband, Donald Wall was announced by Pike County District Attorney Ray Tonkin. 

The agreement filed in Pike County Court on Monday required Eleanore Wall and Donald Wall to pay to Shohola Township $7,500 in restitution, and for Eleanore "Nelia" Wall to resign her position as Township Supervisor.   Once the Walls complied with those terms of the agreement, Tonkin filed a document to withdraw the charges filed by criminal complaint in January of this year.

The DA said he was satisfied that the agreement brought back almost three times the amount of monies alleged to have been unlawfully removed from the Shohola Township treasury, and will hopefully allow the Township to move forward in a positive manner for all the citizens of the Township.  Tonkin also commended the grand jury which investigated this matter and issued a presentment, which documented how Township business was previously handled in Shohola Township. 

"The grand jury took this matter very seriously, and without the presentment the citizens of Shohola Township would not have had an independent investigation to document the facts surrounding certain allegations of improprieties happening in Township offices", Tonkin said.
