Evidence Against Ex-Wayne Hills Player Needs More Review

A brief hearing for a former Wayne Hills football player accused of disorderly conduct was held in municipal court Tuesday.
Prosecutor Raymond Vivino said he needed time to review evidence and discuss the matter with the police officer who issued the summons to “determine the facts” and “how we’re going to proceed.”
Andrew Monaghan, his attorney Kalman Geist, and Vivino were expected to have a conference afterward to determine if a trial would be held or not. Geist mentioned wanting to have the conference Tuesday afternoon after the hearing, but it is unknown whether one took place or not.
The attorneys were not immediately available afterward.
Monaghan was charged with disorderly conduct after police said he interfered with an officer who was investigating a noise complaint at a party in July. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Monaghan allegedly encouraged an individual the officer was speaking with to not give the officer his name. He also urged him to shut the door on the officer.
Monaghan was warned three times to stop and was arrested after the third time, Chief John Reardon previously said.
Monaghan is one of the nine Wayne Hills football players charged with two counts of aggravated assault last November. The charges stem from an incident at a party last October.
If convicted of the disorderly conduct charge, Monaghan may have to go to trial on the aggravated assault charges.
Monaghan is a member of the football team at Wesley College in Delaware.

I can't believe that a Wesleyan, or any college, even accepted him given his behavior on the night in question. If the cop is accurate with his charges, this man needs to spend a few months in the "grey-bar motel."

Hey Nose Wayne,
Ever see how my postings are deleted? Why is this censorship allowed on this forum. I guess some of my postings don't agree with a certain persons view on things. That's why this forum isn't really an open forum at all.

None of my post are inappropiate at all. My post here said possible alcohol was involved and of a persons character that doesn't usually change. Maybe the "Good Ole Boy Club" is taking care of this also in the background.

Pad, Don't feel so bad. I have been "DELETED" more times than I can remember. Our "Editor Dan" doesn't always see things the way other people see or say things on here.Have gotten better lately but did not see anything you posted that should have been deleated.I guess all these times he got into trouble ,it was the other kid,not him.

Nose Wayne, To me its censorship, I have never said anything inapropriate and an open forum should be just that open. If Dan is a true reporter then he should realize that deleting ones opinion is a form of censorship. His feelings on the postings should be irrelevent. If a posting is vulger, sexual etc it should be removed. But many postings seem to be deleted because maybe certain people tell him to remove them. If you ever run I would love to meet you and possibly give you my support.

When I first came on here I was deleted for reasons you mentioned until I cleaned up my act. Dan does delete people for reasons you said after that.Will I run ? I NOSE how this town is run and the "Good ole Boys/Girls" politics that goes along with it. The before meetings in the Mayors Conference Room before each council meeting and the behind closed door meetings that go on all the time in town. So thanks for the support and STAY TUNED !!!! OH,behave yourself so you don't get deleted anymore.

I am behaving myself and said nothing innapropriate. It seems Dan has his own agenda at times. The mayor in this town is a disgrace and should resign. There is more to being Mayor then cutting ribbons, making commercials, & issuing gag orders.
