Attorney seeks dismissal of drug charges for Monaco
Attorney Richard J. Audino asked for dismissal of possession of a controlled substance and criminal conspiracy charges against Floyd Joseph Monaco. He contends both men were available for trial from Aug. 3, 1979, to Tuesday, with no continuance or delay requested. Earlier drug charges against Monaco were dismissed for failure to go to trial within 180 days, per Judge Glenn McCracken, and Monaco had pled guilty last November 26 to a general murder charge in the death of State Trooper Albert Izzo during a Mahoningtown drug raid.
