A Nanticoke man arrested for public intoxication and disorderly conduct at a city bar left his children home alone, under "God's" supervision, police said.
Julian Jay Johnson, 32, was found inside of a silver Jaguar sedan with the car running and headlights on, after trying to initiate fights with several patrons inside of Tommyboy's Bar and Grille, 12 N. Market St., police said.
Bar manager Stephanie Smith told police she saw Johnson pull out a large pipe-like item from the sedan's trunk after he said he was coming back with "something" for the patrons, according to police. Smith locked the bar's door, prompting Johnson to return to his vehicle, police said.
Upon arrival at the Nanticoke police headquarters, Johnson told officials he needed to go home because his children were there and that "God was watching them," Nanticoke police said.
Officers arrived at Johnson's home, 55 Loomis St., and discovered three children, ages 1, 3 and 6, home alone, police said.
Alongside Children and Youth caseworker Jamie Stuart, police observed several safety issues and insufficient living conditions within the home, police said. All three children were taken into protective custody.
Luzerne County 911 indicated that Johnson's operating privileges were under suspension for offenses related to driving under the influence, according to the police report.
Johnson was charged with public drunkenness, disorderly conduct, two counts of harassment and endangering the welfare of a child.
He was arraigned in Wilkes-Barre Central Court on Tuesday, and jailed in Luzerne County Correctional Facility on $5,000 cash bail.
