By rssfeeds-admin 34-year-old Christopher S. Young was charged with felony intimidation of a witness and misdemeanor counts of stalking and loitering or prowling at night.
According to the PA Attorney General’s Office, Young was arraigned and denied bail because a district judge “deemed him a danger to himself and others.”
Information from the Office of Attorney General and Pennsylvania State Police investigation shows Young repeatedly called and text messaged a potential witness in a child abuse investigation.
Young also went to the wooded area behind the witness’s house on the night of February 24. He was armed with a gun and knife.
“These charges outline disturbing and deliberate attempts to influence witness cooperation in a very serious police matter,” Attorney General Sunday said. “As a sworn officer with an oath to protect the community, the defendant’s alleged behavior will not be tolerated.”
Young has been with the PA State Police since 2017 and was assigned to the Patrol Unit in Troop L, Hamburg.
Young is currently suspended without pay.
