On Friday, August 8th, 2025, officers with the Hazleton City Police Department were ending the detail for the Rockin' the Mountain concert. While enroute back to the police station, they observed a red 4-wheeler traveling on the roadway in the City.

The four-wheeler was behind the officer's vehicle when they lost sight of it. The quad reappeared shortly and attempted to pass the police cruiser. A traffic stop was conducted, and the operator of the quad pulled over in the area of South Church Street and Mine Street. The operator is now identified as Kenny Castillo Cisneros, who told officers he had ridden into the City to fuel up the four-wheeler.

The four-wheeler was seized due to the city ordinance code, Chapter 533 -4. The operator, Kenny Castillo Cisneros, will receive a citation for operating and using a recreational vehicle inside city limits.
