Police Say Queen Woman Threatened Family of Four Using Facebook Messenger

A Queen woman is facing several misdemeanor charges after an incident at the home of people who took her in.

According to a criminal complaint, Greenfield Township Police responded to a 9-1-1 call on Thursday, Feb. 20, to a residence on Polecat Road, East Freedom.

The 29-year-old victim identified herself as the caller to the officer at the door. She identified three other victims living in the house and stated that they had also been harassed. The other victims were a 30-year-old male, a 52-year-old female and 11-month-old child.

The victim told police that she and the others had been harassed by Autumn Nicole Weitzel, 30, of Appletree Lane, Queen.

The victim stated that the harassment started with sending Weitzel a photo of a bill that Weitzel had agreed to pay. The bill was sent to collections for non-payment.

According to the victim, a voice message left by Weitzel for one of the victims had the entire family “afraid for their lives.”

The message which was sent on Facebook Messenger from Weitzel’s account, was played for the responding officer. The voice on the recording was identified by the family as being Weitzel’s.

According to police, Weitzel is heard saying, “I would annihilate the whole [expletive] place” and “everyone loses every [expletive] thing.”

The victim explained that they had given Weitzel a place to stay but that she had left in August 2019.

The victim stated that she was concerned for her family’s safety because they were not sure what Weitzel might do.

Weitzel was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Paula M. Aigner and charged with four first-degree misdemeanor charges of terroristic threats with intent to terrorize another and four third-degree misdemeanor charges of harassment. She was released on $15,000 unsecured bond.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled at 9 a.m., April 16, 2020, in front of Magisterial District Judge Andrew L. Blattenberger.
