Lancaster County Man Charged With Assault After Forcing Entry Into Home
I’ve covered a lot of crime stories over the years, but some hit differently—like this one from Leola, Lancaster County. A 36-year-old man named Anthony Pfund is now sitting in jail, accused of breaking into a woman’s home on a quiet Sunday afternoon and attacking her inside.
Police say it happened around the 900 block of Rettew Mill Road. Pfund didn’t just walk in—he allegedly forced his way through a window by removing the screen. When officers arrived, they found him still inside the house. The woman, according to the police report, was in a corner, crying. You can imagine the fear in that moment.
What makes this worse is that it wasn’t random. Investigators say Pfund had a history with the woman—and that he’d threatened her before. This time, he shoved her to the ground after forcing his way in, despite her protests. The police documents say she was “substantially terrified and feared for her life.”…
