An Athens man is behind bars after he allegedly posed as a police officer and assaulted residents at a senior housing complex.
According to police, 38-year-old Joseph R. Hall was arrested on Sunday and charged with two felony counts of burglary and misdemeanor counts of simple assault, impersonating a public servant, disorderly conduct, harassment and criminal trespass.
Police officers responded to Page Manor in Athens Borough at around 7:39 p.m. on Sunday for a report of a suspicious man pounding on doors and announcing he was with the Athens Police Department.
Multiple Page Manor residents said that after they opened the door, Hall shoved them and pushed them down to force himself into their apartments.
Hall was remanded to the Bradford County Jail on $150,000 bail.
