WILKES-BARRE — A Kingston resident won’t be attending a haunted house and hayride after someone allegedly took $60 from her and failed to return with her tickets for the event on October 16.

According to police, Jason John McCracken, Wilkes-Barre, is alleged to have promised the woman, 23, that he would return with the tickets and did not. Nor did he refund her money.

Police said repeated attempts to contact McCracken were unsuccessful.

Charges of theft by deception have been filed in the case.
