Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin R. Steele and Upper Dublin Township Police Chief Francis Wheatley announced on February 11th the arrest of 41-year-old Eric Berkowitz, 41 of Dresher (Upper Dublin Township) for Criminal Solicitation For Murder, Attempted Murder and related charges.
According to the announcement, Upper Dublin resident Steven Luker informed the Upper Dublin Township Police on February 10th that Berkowitz had offered him $5,000 to murder three people in New York.
