Donnell Thompson, 49, of 611 Grier St., was wearing a hoodie and ski mask while attempting to break into 1724 Four Mile Drive on Nov. 19, police allege.
Thompson fled the scene before police arrived, however a caller reported Thompson’s route, where police located a pair of black glasses containing the letters "DG." Police later visited Thompson’s residence, where he identified the glasses as his, stating "they are definitely mine," an affidavit said.
Six days later, Thompson returned to the residence, where he was caught on camera attempting to gain entrance.
Thompson also left threatening voice messages, stating that he would "kick the 'expletive' door down," police allege.
In the messages, Thompson also stated that he would do whatever he wanted to, and didn’t care about the police. He also stated he would do all he could to "catch" her, while also relating that he would "bury" her, according to an affidavit.
Thompson had been warned not to have contact with the victim since the Nov. 19 incident.
Thompson was apprehended by state police on Nov. 30, after they spotted his 2020 Chevrolet Malibu in the parking lot of Ciocca Dealership, 620 Jordan Ave., Montoursville, according to court documents.
Thompson was reclining in his seat, when approached by police and had a folding knife in his right pocket and a firearm holster on his belt, which he stated he used to house his cell phone to make it appear that he had a gun, court documents state.
Thompson’s phone was located in his left-hand jacket pocket, and during a search of his vehicle, police discovered a loaded Taurus G2 9mm handgun, despite previous criminal trespass incidents, rendering him unable to lawfully possess a firearm.
Thompson faces several charges from the first two incidents, including loitering and prowling at night and disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, intimidating a witness, making terroristic threats and harassment.
He was arraigned before District Judge Gary Whiteman on Nov. 30, on additional charges of possession of a firearm while prohibited and carrying a firearm without a license.
Thompson was denied bail and was remanded to the Lycoming County Prison.
