LITITZ BOROUGH - The LBPD patrol function filed a criminal complaint and affidavit of probable cause against Darren Thomas MELLORS, age 53, of Lititz, alleging he committed the crime of Recklessly Endangering Another Persons.
On 11/10/2022 around 10:26 pm, the LBPD received two separate 911 calls reporting hearing gunshots fired in the 700 Block of South Broad Street. The initial on-scene investigation revealed there was an argument overheard between people immediately prior to hearing of the gunshots. The exact location of the home where the argument occurred was determined. Officers arrived at that home and found evidence supporting that gunshots had recently been fired. Responding officers located expended shell casings and disturbed areas of the front yard of the home where two bullets had penetrated the ground.
As a result of the investigation, it is alleged that MELLORS fired two bullets into the front yard of the home following an argument. The home is located in close proximity to other homes and the front yard is immediately adjacent to South Broad Street, a state highway corridor running through the Borough of Lititz. The people involved in the argument preceding the firing of the shots have been identified and are known to each other. No injuries resulted. This is an isolated incident.
MELLORS was subsequently charged and appeared for a preliminary arraignment. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled.
MELLORS is presumed innocent.
