The West Norriton home of Marine Corps veteran Ronald Dziewit, who mounted a standoff with local law enforcement in October over his eviction, is up for sale.
The former home of Marine Corps veteran Ronald Dziewit is up for sale. The cozy, Cape Cod-style house on quiet Clearview Avenue in West Norriton was the scene of a three-hour long standoff between Dziewit and local law enforcement agencies in early October 2011.
