PLEASANT MOUNT, PA — Involuntary manslaughter charges have been brought against two men in the death of a Waymart man. Ryan Clemo, 31, died at Wayne Memorial Hospital on March 29 after drinking heavily.

Adam Dixon, 22, and Jonathan Yacinovich, 18, both of Waymart, were arraigned on July 18 in connection with the death.

In March, Clemo was at the home of his girlfriend, Sara Kellerman, who lives on Rose Hill Drive in Dyberry Township. Clemo, Kellerman, Dixon and Yacinovich were all drinking when Clemo became upset.

At the time, Dixon told troopers that Clemo became violent and had to be held down.

Yacinovich said he tied an extension cord around Clemo’s ankles. Dixon said that he had put his hands around Clemo’s throat.

Clemo had two children, and a memorial fund for them has been established.
