Burglary, indecent assault
SPRING TOWNSHIP - Daniel Edward Pick, 55, of 105 W. Market St., Beavertown, was charged by state police at Selinsgrove with burglary, indecent assault and other offenses relating to incidents involving a 95-year-old woman.
At 8:21 a.m. Saturday, police reported Pick unscrewed the porch lights at the victim's residence and attempted to talk her into opening the front door. Police later determined Pick was involved in similar incidents involving the same victim April 4, Nov. 24 and Dec. 31.
On April 4, police said Pick removed the front porch light, entered the home through an unlocked front door and inappropriately touched the victim, who was able to press her Life Alert necklace, prompting Pick to flee the home.
On Nov. 24, police said Pick entered the elderly woman's home by breaking the glass above a lock on the back door. Police said Pick entered the residence and once again inappropriately touched the woman before fleeing the residence when the victim again pressed her Life Alert necklace.
On Dec. 31, police said Pick's vehicle was seen in front of the victim's residence by a relative who happened to be driving past the home. Police said the witness stopped and turned his vehicle around to investigate. The witness told police a man matching Pick's description got into the vehicle and fled the scene.
Pick was arraigned Tuesday by Magisterial District Judge Leo Armbruster on two counts each of burglary, indecent assault and criminal trespass, four counts of stalking and loitering and prowling at night, and three counts of criminal mischief.
Pick was committed to Snyder County Prison in lieu of $25,000 bail.
