From an article by Carl Hessler Jr. in today's edition of The Pottstown Mercury:
NORRISTOWN — A self-proclaimed prophet who spouted biblical passages to rail against a Lower Pottsgrove couple showed no emotion as a jury determined her conduct caused emotional distress for the couple.Read the full story at the newspaper's Web site.
The Montgomery County jury deliberated just 10 minutes on Wednesday before convicting Sharlene Andreyko, 50, of Lenape Road, Bechtelsville, of a misdemeanor charge of stalking in connection with incidents that occurred between December 2008 and March 2009.
Judge Steven T. O'Neill, referring to testimony about threats Andreyko made to the married couple, immediately revoked Andreyko's bail and ordered that she undergo a mental health evaluation at Montgomery County Emergency Services.
"The testimony at this trial was nothing short of alarming," said O'Neill, adding he couldn't predict Andreyko's future behavior and couldn't risk the safety of the Lower Pottsgrove couple or the community at-large if she were to remain free on bail at this time.
