Fire chief admits claim of death threat

Wilkes-Barre Township Fire Chief John Yuknavich admits in court papers that he said a township resident threatened to kill him.

The statement was made at a township council meeting on June 1 and therefore, Yuknavich believes, should be considered his opinion.

Yuknavich filed a response in Luzerne County Court on Tuesday to a lawsuit filed by Joseph Naperkowski in which Naperkowski accused the fire chief of defaming him at the council meeting.
