A third person, Austin B. Grossnickle Jr., 20, of 3635 Pine St., Cogan Station, has been charged for his alleged involvement in the killing of a whitetail deer that was “maliciously” run over by a vehicle at West Third and Arch streets in Williamsport during the early morning hours of March 8, 2025, according to an affidavit filed by the state Game Commission. The impact broke the deer’s two legs and neck, the court document stated. Charged with unlawful killing or taking of big game and unlawful use of lights while hunting, both misdemeanors, Grossnickle, who was a passenger in the vehicle, recently waived his preliminary hearing before District Judge Christian Frey and is free on $10,000 bail.

The driver of the vehicle, Mark Edward Kimble Jr., 19, of 320 School House Road, and another passenger, Nyreece Kyrell Speck, 26, of 218 Smith Court Circle, Linden, have already been charged and have both waived their preliminary hearings.
