The defendant is accused of punching and spitting on a woman, and exposing himself in front of a minor, police allege in a complaint.
After six months on the run from an active warrant on felony burglary and numerous misdemeanor sex crime offenses, a 22-year-old man has been arrested and arraigned on the charges last week.
Police allege Khalif Dwight Mumin punched and spit on a woman, and exposed himself in front of a minor.
Mumin, who has no fixed home or address, remains at Montgomery County jail on $25,077 cash bail, which includes a parole violation detainer.
He faces felony charges of burglary and criminal trespassing, and misdemeanor charges of indecent assault without consent, endangering the welfare of children, corruption of minors, attempted simple assault, indecent exposure, open lewdness, harassment, and defiant trespassing, according to charging documents.
At 9:40 a.m., April 2, police responded to a report of people fighting outside on North Third Street in the Montgomery County section of Telford Borough, with one man, later identified as Mumin, walking away from the scene, police said.
The victim told police Mumin entered her residence while she was asleep the night before, made something to eat, took a shower, and then got into her bed, per the affidavit. Police said the victim did not report Mumin to authorities because she is very scared of him, he is unpredictable and gives in because she is "frozen in fear."
On the morning of April 2, at 6 a.m., the victim asked Mumin to leave, as her friends were coming over, police said. The victim returned with a juvenile, two hours later, but Mumin was still in bed, naked, and refused to leave, per the affidavit. Mumin threatened to stab the victim, authorities allege, due to her friends coming over.
When one friend arrived, police allege Mumin became loud and argumentative, launched out of bed naked in front of everyone present, and continued to threaten the victim.
Two witnesses outside the home were able to see through a picture window and allegedly saw Mumin punch the victim and then spit on her, authorities said.
At least two people offered to take Mumin to Philadelphia, but authorities said he refused, exited the car, ran around outside threatening to “kill her,” and then fled on foot and disappeared before police arrival.
A preliminary hearing is set for Nov. 13 at 1:30 p.m. before Magisterial District Judge Adam T. Katzman, per court documents.
All suspects and defendants are innocent until proven guilty. This story was compiled using public court records.
