Woman pleads guilty to disorderly conduct in reported knife threat

WILKES-BARRE — A woman charged by Wilkes-Barre police with threatening a man with a knife when she cut-in-line inside the Luzerne County Assistance Office pled guilty to a misdemeanor disorderly conduct charge.

Lisa La Teesha Miner, 46, of Front Street, Warrior Run, was charged when she pulled a knife and pointed it at a man inside the assistance office on South Washington Street on Aug. 19, according to court records.

Miner bypassed several people in-line when the man told her she had to wait like other people.

Miner pled guilty to the disorderly conduct charge at her preliminary hearing in Luzerne County Central Court on Wednesday. Police withdrew charges of terroristic threats and simple assault against Miner.
