Man jailed for entering woman’s apartment naked
Less than eight hours after being found unconscious in his vehicle, a Johnstown man was arrested for entering a Washington woman’s apartment while naked.
Joshua M. Herdman, 27, of 612 Demuth St., was arrested by Washington police around 6:30 a.m. Friday after the woman told police she found him in her apartment after she heard him sneeze. The woman fled the apartment and police found Herdman a short time later naked in the hallway. He allegedly told police he didn’t know how he got into the apartment or why he wasn’t wearing clothes.
Around 10:45 p.m. Thursday, police were called to the 800 block of Jefferson Avenue for a report of a man slumped over in his vehicle. They found Herdman alert in the driver’s seat. He allegedly told police he took crystal meth. Police found pipes and syringes in the vehicle. Herdman was transported to the hospital for a voluntary blood test.
Herdman was charged with criminal trespass and disorderly conduct. He was arraigned before District Judge Jay Weller and placed in Washington County Jail on $25,000 bond. A preliminary hearing is scheduled Aug. 10 before District Judge Robert Redlinger.
