On September 2nd, 2026 at approximately 6:30pm. An Officer with The Pocono Township Police Department was monitoring speed on Bartonsville Avenue when a blue Subaru traveled through the enforcement area at a speed of 46 miles per hour. That area of Bartonsville Avenue is a 30 mph speed limit. The officer caught up to the vehicle as it turned onto Laurel Lake RD. The Subaru was observed crossing the white fog line 4 times and the center double yellow line once. The officer stopped the vehicle in the area of Vo-Tech RD.

After an investigation, Shawn Gilson, of East Stroudsburg was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. When lab tests were returned Gilson was found to have a blood alcohol concentration of 0.274%, over 3 times the legal limit. 

Gilson was charged with misdemeanors Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol: Highest Rate, Driving Under The Influence of Alcohol: General Impairment, and summary charges for Speeding and Driving on Roadways Laned For Traffic. Based on a check of Gilson's criminal history, this constitutes a second offense DUI.
