According to officials, he could be seen following the victim in that footage.<\/p>\n<p>The victim was able to identify Bartos as the suspect in a photo lineup on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Sister station WTAE spoke to the victim, Jerah Jorinscay, who said she was coming home from a bar in her neighborhood when the incident happened. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen he saw me struggling with my keys to get the top lock open, and that\u2019s when he approached the porch, and I saw the shadow of his face, like, move behind my head,\u201d Jorinscay said.  <\/p>\n<p>Doorbell camera footage shows her yelling at the man, who then ran away. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe laughed. He thought it was funny. And he told me to calm down. I hope he\u2019s laughing in jail right now,\u201d Jorinscay said.  <\/p>\n<p>According to the criminal complaint, camera footage showed Bartos following Jorinscay for blocks.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe put those gloves on, following me. He knew what he was going to do,\u201d Jorinscay said.  <\/p>\n<p>The footage, along with assistance from another nearby police department, led investigators to Bartos. Police in another Pittsburgh neighborhood had already charged him with prowling and harassment after a similar incident in July. Bartos is also facing gun and assault charges stemming from a fight at his workplace in May.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt wasn\u2019t just me, but I was at the wrong place and at the wrong time for him. So they did their job. Thank you. That\u2019s all I could say to the Bellevue PD,\u201d Jorinscay said.  <\/p>\n<p>While police say this may not be the first incident involving Bartos, Jorinscay is determined to ensure it doesn\u2019t happen again.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe doesn\u2019t see this sky no more. No more, no more. He doesn\u2019t get to walk freely no more. And if he does, and everybody\u2019s going to know,\u201d Jorinscay said.  <\/p>\n<p>She shared her story to encourage other women to stay vigilant and brave.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was the most freeing feeling to watch that man run away from me when he tried me. No, you run, not me. You,\u201d Jorinscay said.<\/p>\n<p>Bartos has been arrested and faces charges of stalking, instruments of crime, harassment and more. His bail was denied Monday evening, and a preliminary hearing in this case has been set for Aug. 27. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Authorities have arrested a man they say followed a woman home from a bar outside of Pittsburgh over&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267882,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29],"class_list":["post-267881","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania","tag-pennsylvania-headlines","tag-pennsylvania-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267881","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=267881"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267881\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267882"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267881"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267881"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267881"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
