Homeless man faces three set of charges

Wanted on at least two warrants, Daniel Eric Maurer managed to elude capture on Oct. 16, but he was nabbed days later by a city police officer who spotted him and chased after him 40 to 50 yards before the 40-year-old homeless man was captured, according to court records. Affidavits state that Mauer was wanted on a felony shoplifting charge filed by Montoursville police as well as a theft charge filed by city police. While no details were available regarding the shoplifting case, city police have accused Maurer of taking $500 from a Pennsylvania skills machine that did not belong to him at the Nittany Minit Market, 2300 W. Fourth St., on Aug. 22.

A third warrant, this one filed by the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit, charges him with flight to avoid apprehension after he fled from a county detective while riding his bicycle. The detective was aware Maurer was a fugitive, but when Maurer saw the detective at West Fourth Street and Seventh Avenue in the city on Oct. 16., he took off, investigators alleged.

When the city police officer nabbed him on Oct. 23 and took him into custody, Maurer faced an additional felony charge of flight to avoid apprehension plus three counts of evading arrest. Arraigned before District Judge Denise Dieter, Maurer, who has since waived his preliminary hearing on all the charges, remains jailed in the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $75,000 bail.
