Newton Twp. man charged after shooting delivery driver – Scranton Times-Tribune
Police charged a 43-year-old Newton Twp. man after authorities say he shot an Instacart driver who was delivering groceries to his home Saturday night.
Officers responded to 20 Misty Lane around 7:37 p.m. and the victim, a 35-year-old Scranton man was triaged and immediately transported to the hospital where he went directly into surgery, South Abington Twp. Police Chief Paul Wolfe said.
Wolfe added the victim was shot in the leg and is recovering well. He expects officers to interview the victim further about the incident Monday or Tuesday.
“He gave us a brief statement but it was not in writing and it didn’t provide any justification for the shooting,” Wolfe said.
Sabo (Courtesy Lackawanna County Central Processing) Police initially charged Nicholas Sabo with recklessly endangering another person and Wolfe noted additional charges may be filed after officers talk with the victim.
The shooting occurred after Sabo’s wife ordered groceries from Weis Markets through the Instacart app but didn’t inform him, Wolfe said.
When the driver arrived at the house, the woman received an alert that there was movement on the side of the house by the garage and she thought the man was trying to break into a utility trailer, the chief said. Sabo then retrieved a gun, ran outside, saw the man by the trailer and shot him for trespassing, Wolfe said.
Bail and preliminary hearing information were unavailable Monday.

Dunmore’s Vic Fangio, defensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles – Scranton Times-Tribune
Dunmore native Vic Fangio once again will lead the Philadelphia Eagles defense in an NFL playoff game Sunday as the Birds face the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round of the NFC playoffs at Lincoln Financial Field.
It’s a familiar spot for Fangio, who has forged a remarkably successful coaching career that was born on the fields of Northeast Pennsylvania, a fact that is never far from his mind. When he was introduced as the Denver Broncos head coach in 2019, Fangio talked about his football upbringing and another of the area’s legendary coaches.
“I want to thank Jack Henzes, my high school coach, for his passion and excellence in football and in coaching. It is what motivated me … I caught his passion for the game and I decided from that point on that I wanted to be a football coach,” Fangio said at the time.
After leaving Dunmore following a two-year stint as the Bucks’ defensive coordinator in 1981, Fangio embarked on a coaching career that, between the collegiate and professional ranks, has lasted more than 40 years. The Eagles are his seventh stop as a defensive coordinator, and six of those franchises made the playoffs at least once with him running their defenses. Fangio has coached in one Super Bowl, reaching the big game as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII against the Baltimore Ravens on Feb. 3, 2013, a game won by the Ravens, 34-31 at the Superdome in New Orleans.
With a win Sunday, the Eagles can take him back to a conference championship game for the first time as an on-field coach since he helped the 49ers reach the NFC Championship Game during the 2013-14 season.
Here are some images from some of Fangio’s coaching stints across the NFL.
