A Scranton man is jailed after police say he looked inside a 17-year-old\u2019s bedroom window and then broke into the family\u2019s house.<\/p>\n
The 17-year-old and her brother Noel Rivera visited the police on July 4 and told officers a man they recognized as Anthony Elias Ramirez, of 201 Pittston Avenue, was acting suspiciously for about six months.<\/p>\n
In February, the teenager told her family she thought someone was trying to open her bedroom window. She opened her curtain and saw a man she recognized as Ramirez standing outside the family residence on \u00a0Pittston Ave., according to a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
Following the incident, the family installed a camera and spotted Ramirez \u201cpoking around\u201d outside their residence, police said.<\/p>\n
At about 2 a.m. on July 4, the 17-year-old heard someone near her bedroom. A check of the security camera, showed Ramirez entering the residence at about 1:45 a.m.<\/p>\n
Officers noted there were seven people asleep in the house at the time.<\/p>\n
Then on July 9, Noel Rivera called police to report another attempted burglary. He showed officers a video of Ramirez walking onto the porch, opening the screen door and trying the handle at about 3 a.m., according to the complaint.<\/p>\n
Again on July 10, Noel Rivera contacted police for a third time. He told officers had had received a security alert from his surveillance system that someone was on the front porch.<\/p>\n
The video showed showed Ramirez walking onto the porch, opening the screen door and looking into the entry door window, before leaving.<\/p>\n
Rivera told officers Ramirez had been the one stalking his family.<\/p>\n
During an interview at the police station, the 17-year-old recounted texting her mom at one point, saying, \u201dSomebody is going to get killed in this house and nobody will notice.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ramirez is charged with burglary, criminal trespass, stalking and loitering.<\/p>\n
He remains at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on July 20 before District Judge Joanne Corbett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Scranton man is jailed after police say he looked inside a 17-year-old\u2019s bedroom window and then broke…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":243334,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[202,201,182,139,28,178,180,179],"class_list":["post-243333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243333","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=243333"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/243333\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/243334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=243333"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=243333"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=243333"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
