What we're working on for Nov. 29

Here's a look at the local stories we're working on for Thursday's edition: * A man is killed in a crash on Route 11 near the PPL nuclear plant. * More details are to come on Wednesday's arrest of a suspected Mocanaqua arsonist. (See what we have so far at http://www.pressenterpriseonline.com/content/police-make-arson-arrest ) * A woman who embezzled more than $14,000 from Berwick's AYSO soccer program and Girl Scouts is sentenced to six months in prison. She tells the court she stole in order to avoid "something worse" and is trying to "restore credibility" after her conviction.

Police make arson arrest

State Police have arrested a man they say has admitted to setting one of a string of fires that have plagued Mocanaqua and Shickshinny in recent weeks. Shawn Travis Wilcox, 36, of 38 Main St., Mocanaqua, told troopers he likes setting fires and watching flames, according to court papers. He also allegedly said he fights the urge to start fires every day. State troopers say he broke into the vacant, flood-damaged apartment building at 4 Main St. in Mocanaqua on Nov. 12. Once inside, Wilcox set fire to a bag stored inside, then left, police say.
