TREMONT - A Porter Township man is headed to Schuylkill County Court after waiving his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday on charges stemming from what police allege was an incident earlier this month.
Jonathan A. Dehaan, 24, of 1734 E. Grand Ave., Reinerton, faces charges of simple assault, harassment and criminal mischief.
Magisterial District Judge David J. Rossi bound over those charges for the county court after Dehaan waived his right to a hearing.
State police at Schuylkill Haven allege Dehaan committed those crimes on March 3 in Porter Township. He remains free on $5,000 unsecured bail pending further court action in his case.

Jason W. Bullers, 35, of 1918 Paradise Road, New Bloomfield - bad checks; right to preliminary hearing waived, charge bound over for court.
Nikki R. Leininger, 30, of 69 Spring St., Tremont - driving under the influence, disregarding traffic lane, careless driving and seat belt violation; right to preliminary hearing waived, charges bound over for court.
