Ex-inmate is charged in stalking

Kimbell was in a woman's yard with a large knife or sword, a police report said.
NEW CASTLE, Pa. -- A former death row inmate is again in trouble with the law.
City police charged Thomas Hank Kimbell, 42, of East Long Avenue with stalking, harassment and criminal mischief this morning.
Police accused Kimbell of harassing a woman and her children at their Lyndall Street home.
Police reports stated that he was seen standing in the woman's yard or in a wooded area adjacent to her home. He also threw a rock and broke the glass of a bedroom window of one of her children, police said.
Police said a baby sitter reported seeing Kimbell on Monday standing in the front yard with a sword or large knife that was about one foot long.
The woman told police she thinks the problems started after her husband punched Kimbell in the face after an argument last week. The husband is now in jail on unrelated charges, police said.
2002 case
Kimbell was acquitted in 2002 in the stabbing deaths of Bonnie Lou Dryfuse, 34, her daughters, Jacqueline, 7, and Heather, 4, and a niece, Stephanie Herko, 5, in Pulaski Township.
He spent four years on death row before being granted a new trial by the Pennsylvania Supreme Court. No one else has been charged, and the case remains unsolved.
This isn't Kimbell's first brush with the law since his release from death row. In May he was seriously hurt after being beaten by a man in a dispute over money.
