BEAVER MEADOWS — The Beaver Meadows Police Chief Mike Morressi was dragged by a car in Carbon County Thursday.

The driver is still on the loose and the chief was sent to the hospital.

Earlier today, Chief Morressi was attempting to serve a long overdue eviction notice to a tenant outside of a home on Berwick Street in Beaver Meadows. When the chief saw the tenant, Dean Kancir, he attempted to serve the papers.

That’s when he said he was dragged by a car down Route 93 near Hazleton.

Kancir was living in a burnt out shell of a home along Berwick Street near Hazleton.  It’s where Police Chief Morresi was trying to serve a warrant to the man living here illegally.

The home burnt back in 2003 and was later bought by the borough of Beaver Meadows.

Dean Kancir, 41, and his family have refused to leave.

Beaver Meadows Mayor William Hines said this situation is a frustrating one.
