Cops: Man text-messaged death threats

A Beavertown man has also been charged with harassment and related charges after text-messaging death threats and leaving harassing comments on a 19-year-old woman's myspace page.

Chester Michael Kasianczuk, 32, of 102 E. Market St., Beavertown, has been charged with retaliation against witness, victim or party, intimidation of witness or victims and harassment by state police at Selinsgrove.

According to the criminal complaint, the victim, 19-year-old Courtney Garrison, told police she received a threatening message on her myspace page from Kasianczuk and threatening text messages on her cell phone on Tuesday. The same day, Garrison said she found a newspaper in her driveway with the obituaries on top along with an article about Kasianczuk's former charge of harassment.

According to police, when told to leave Garrison alone, Kasianczuk responded to police by saying, "It's not over until it's over." Kasianczuk was arrested and charged Wednesday and was arraigned before Robinson. He is being held in Snyder County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
