STROUDSBURG, MONROE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — A man is on the run and a woman is facing several charges after police say they found children in a car with pot after a chase in Monroe County Sunday. According to court documents, on Sunday at about 11:10 p.m., a state trooper was driving east on State Route 611 in Stroudsburg when they saw a silver Mercedes traveling in front of them. State police say the car was seen swerving on the road and driving above the posted speed limit. The trooper then activated their emergency lights and attempted to pull the car over. After an extended period of time, troopers say the car eventually pulled over on North 9th Street and Terrance Drive behind a gas station. Upon approach to the car, troopers say a child was seen in the trunk of the vehicle.

Three people face charges after allegedly attempting to set a house on fire in Monroe County.  Traill Labar Jr., Isaiah Garcia, and Chapel Iliev face several charges, including attempted criminal homicide and arson. Pocono Mountain Regional Police say Traill Labar Jr., Isaiah Garcia, and Chapel Iliev used several Molotov cocktails to try to set fire to a home along Pine Knob Lane in Canadensis in December of 2023 after an argument over a bottle of alcohol.
