Jersey Shore, PA – A recent spate of criminal activities has led to multiple arrests and charges in Lycoming County, spanning incidents from domestic disturbances to narcotics trafficking. Authorities have reported a surge in police actions, leading to the apprehension of several individuals involved in various criminal offenses over the last few months.
In one notable case, Damian Edward Colegrove, aged 42 and residing on Lycoming Creek Road, was charged with simple assault, harassment, and criminal trespass following an altercation where he is alleged to have repeatedly struck his ex-girlfriend’s current boyfriend on November 2. The incident, occurring within the victim’s apartment on Wilson Street, required medical attention, with the victim being transported to Geisinger Jersey Shore Hospital for his injuries. Colegrove reportedly remained in the apartment despite being asked to leave multiple times, resulting in additional trespassing charges.
Adding to the list of offenses, a teenager from the Linden area, identified as Joshua Tra Harvey, 19, faces charges of misdemeanor theft. Harvey allegedly lifted $46 worth of tools from the automotive technology department of the Jersey Shore Area Senior High School in early November. The stolen items were subsequently discovered by Harvey’s parents and returned to the school. Harvey has admitted to the theft and is slated to appear before District Judge Denise Dieter.
In another incident, police efforts have led to the capture of Daniel Eric Maurer, a 40-year-old homeless man wanted on multiple warrants, including felony shoplifting and theft. Maurer was arrested after a brief chase on October 23, merely days after evading law enforcement by fleeing from a county detective. At the time of his arrest, Maurer faced additional charges for flight to avoid apprehension and evading arrest. He is currently being held in the Lycoming County Prison with bail set at $75,000.
On the narcotics front, significant arrests were made involving Zachary Chism, 26, and Niklas David Keller, 28, who were caught allegedly selling cocaine in the city. Authorities have seized considerable amounts of narcotics resulting from investigations into their activities, with charges including conspiracy to deliver and possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance. Chism and Keller are being held with their bails set at $100,000 and $150,000, respectively.
Further, Nicole Noel Peterson, 36, from Williamsport, was charged after she allegedly threatened another woman with a knife. Peterson faces multiple charges including terroristic threats and public drunkenness. She is currently out on bail after waiving her preliminary hearing.
The ongoing investigations and arrests underscore a concerted effort by local law enforcement to clamp down on crime in the region, reflecting the complexities and challenges associated with battling small-scale and organized crime within the community.
