Clymer Borough Police report a bizarre incident which resulted in charges filed last week against a Creekside man. It happened December 12th at a home on Franklin Street. Police say one of the two victims reported that he is a locksmith who was employed to change the locks on the house by the homeowner, who does not live there. The locksmith asked the next-door neighbor if he could park in his driveway while he worked. The neighbor agreed and the two of them entered the house through the rear basement door. While they were both in the basement, the outside door was slammed shut and locked from the outside. The two victims yelled and pounded on the door, and one of them slammed his body against the door several times.
Then they called 911 and yelled out that they had called police, who say that at that time a man they later identified as 61-year-old Troy Graham of Creekside opened the door and fled the scene. The incident was evidently related to a property dispute. Graham was charged on Thursday with two counts each of misdemeanor unlawful restraint and false imprisonment and two summary counts of harassment.
