YORK (AP) – A man has entered no contest pleas to charges that he killed his father and stepmother with a sword in their PA home almost five years ago. Court documents indicate that 43-year-old Levar Fountain entered the pleas to third-degree murder charges in York County Court earlier this month, avoiding a trial that was to have begun this week. First-degree murder counts carrying a mandatory life term were dismissed. Authorities said Fountain told them he was off his schizophrenia medication when 74-year-old John Fountain and 65-year-old Mary Fountain were killed in December 2019 in their home on the 300 block of Wallace Street in York. Fountain is scheduled for sentencing Nov. 8.
