The following is the result of a nearly 30-months long investigation
into the Williamsport Area High School Baseball Team trip
to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in the spring of 2018.
This story is graphic and contains details related to multiple indecent sexual assaults.
The author and editor of this story have made the editorial decision to not publish the names of the individuals under the age of 18 at the time of the incident who have been clearly identified as committing these acts in this case since they have not been formally charged with a crime.

IF NOTHING HAPPENED IN MYRTLE BEACH
WHY WON’T THE WASD TELL US THE STORY?
PART XXV –
“Did former WBP Assistant Chief, Tim Miller admit to knowing about the Myrtle Beach incident?”

TIM MILLER POSTS “SHUT THIS CLOWN DOWN”
Did a former local Police Chief encourage and condone the car bombing of this author with an online post?
Former Williamsport Bureau of Police Assistant Chief and former Sunbury Police Chief Tim Miller took to Facebook in the days after this series began and weighed in.
“A men Ricky. This asshat who did this story has no clue. 18 months to sling mud at everyone in Lycoming County who ever played baseball.
I certainly hope and I have spoke to a few
who fully intend to hold the author accountable for his ill informed accusations.
There is a big difference between a fact and a supposition. This ass hat has given a new twist to an abuse of freedom of the press.
Just when I thought I have seen it all this bozo leads everyone to the muddy water though.
Spoke to numerous people who see through this smoke.
Something absolutely happened but was it shenanigans or some sexcapade like this guy eludes to.
WAHS dropped the ball. Should have fired a few people and kicked a few off the team but damn we got a full fledged COVERUP in the home of the little league baseball.
Why not wait till little league World Series next year to drop this 18 month long witch hunt.
Shut this clown down.”
The post as it appeared on Facebook is provided below.
In the comment section of the post, Ricky Stryker chimes in with “Tim Miller hahaha.”
Ricky Stryker is a long time and well know associate of Darrick Dixon and was previously referenced in this series for making threats after PART VIII and PART IX.
When former Williamsport Bureau of Police Assistant Chief and former Sunbury Police Chief Tim Miller states:
“I certainly hope and I have spoke to a few who fully intend to hold the author accountable for his ill informed accusations….Why not wait till little league World Series next year to drop this 18 month long witch hunt. Shut this clown down”, was he condoning actions like the domestic terrorism bombing of the car of this author?
Domestic Terrorism Fire Bombing in the driveway of this author’s home August 18, 2020
Could the typed and published words of Miller cause him to have criminal and civil liability?
With the Impeachment trial of former President Trump happening today and those involved involved in storming the U.S. Capitol building being criminally charged; the answer may be, yes.
Former law enforcement member Tim Miller confirms the reporting in this series when he unequivocally states:
“Spoke to numerous people who see through this smoke. Something absolutely happened but was it shenanigans or some sexcapade like this guy eludes to.
WAHS dropped the ball. Should have fired a few people and kicked a few off the team but damn we got a full fledged COVERUP in the home of the little league baseball.”
Has Tim Miller ever bothered to call the Myrtle Beach Police Department out of an abundance of caution or concern?
Or maybe from a place of moral authority?
The answer is a resounding, No.
In his official law enforcement capacity did Tim Miller fail to report a crime of a sexual nature against a child?
In his online message he claims to have intimate knowledge of what occurred and yet has not made the call.
As Miller puts it “Something absolutely happened but was it shenanigans or some sexcapade like this guy eludes to”. The behavior has been confirmed to be “criminal sexual misconduct”, by Lycoming County District Attorney Ryan Gardner.
Gardner subsequently referred the case to Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro.
Tim Miller went onto say in his statement, “WAHS dropped the ball. Should have fired a few people and kicked a few off the team but damn we got a full fledged COVERUP in the home of the little league baseball.”
This author has confirmed throughout this series that Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro and his team are fully investigating the matter.
Tim Miller was the Sunbury Police Chief at the time of the Myrtle Beach trip in 2018 and resigned in July 2018 as reported by WNEP-TV.
SUNBURY, Pa. — “A city in Northumberland County is looking for a new police chief. Tim Miller resigned as Sunbury’s chief Monday night.
Even though he won’t be chief anymore, he will be on the city payroll until next spring.
According to Sunbury’s solicitor, Chief Tim Miller had a non-disclosure contract in place signed by the chief and city officials. The solicitor would not give the specifics of Miller’s medical condition or the contract, but Miller has been put on paid administrative leave until April 2019.”
The WNEP story concludes, “Former Chief Tim Miller did not return our phone call for comment but has told city officials that he is enrolled in barber school.”
Hostility and Tim Miller have gone hand-in-hand for sometime as his co-workers noted when he was assistant chief in the Williamsport Bureau of Police and described in detail in a federal lawsuit filed by Lieutenant Steven Helm.
Published in the The Daily Item on Apr 14, 2017, “Sunbury chief named in federal lawsuit”
WILLIAMSPORT — “Sunbury police Chief Tim Miller has been named in a federal lawsuit after a former co-worker filed an 18-page complaint claiming he had to deal with a hostile environment while working in the Williamsport Police Department, according to court documents. Lt. Steven Helm claims his civil rights were violated while working under Miller, who was the assistant Williamsport chief at the time.”
According to PennLive on Jul 22, 2019, “Williamsport settles for $185,000 three federal lawsuits brought by police officers”
WILLIAMSPORT – The city of Williamsport through its former insurance carrier has paid $185,000 to settle three federal civil rights suits brought by two police officers alleging anti-union bias.
Two suits brought by Lt. Steven Helm, president of Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 29, were settled for a total of $150,000 and the one of Lt. Fred L. Miller IV for $35,000.
Helm received $93,197 and Miller $22,830, with the rest going to the law firm of Schemery Zicolello that represented both officers.
Confidentiality agreements prohibit the parties from commenting but attorney Michael Zicolello posted this on Facebook:
“We feel many wrongs were righted as a result of Helm’s several years-long lawsuit.”
Helm’s first suit, filed in April 2017, was against the city, now retired Chief Gregory Foresman, former Assistant Chief Timothy S. Miller and Young.
In that complaint, Helm claimed he was subjected to retaliation for raising issues within the department and for his wife Shelley being an on-line public critic of the department’s leadership.
One federal lawsuit involving police remains. Former assistant chief Miller in 2017 sued the city, Helm, the FOP lodge, Councilwoman Elizabeth Miele and former Council President William Hall.
He is seeking unspecified damages for retaliation, due process violations, conspiracy, defamation and release of private personal information.
Tim Miller has also been a very outspoken proponent of Darrick Dixon providing a ringing video endorsement.
He resoundingly endorses Dixon.
At the :54 second mark of the video, then Williamsport Area High School Principal Tim Fausnaught is also seen and heard endorsing Darrick Dixon as “making sure people see him (Dixon) as a positive role model.”
Carol Fausnaught, President of the Board of Dwell Orphan Care is the sister-in-law of Tim Fausnaught.
Jennifer Lake is the Founder and Executive Director of Dwell Orphan Care. Lake is also a current member of the WASD School Board.
As recently as last night, a person posing under the name “John Hamm” responded to the question posted in the comment section of the Webb Weekly Live broadcast of Loyalsock verses Montoursville; “who is behind the camera tonight?” with the following:
“every time someone talks s**t……
s**t happens….don’t they get the point?
More to come…”
Do these statements amount to a confession of previous criminal acts perpetrated against this author?
The John Hamm post noted above has since been deleted.
