A Carbon County man entered guilty pleas on Monday in the county court in four pending cases, including harassment by prisoner counts, and is facing a prison term when sentenced.

Michael Eugene A. Mosley, 39, of Lansford, pleaded guilty before Judge Steven R. Serfass to two counts of aggravated harassment by a prisoner, felony 3s, and one count each of fleeing or attempting to elude police, terroristic threats, driving under the influence and institutional vandalism.

Serfass told Mosley, on the harassment counts, under state sentencing guidelines, he faces a minimum prison term of somewhere between 21 and 27 months up to 84 months in prison.

He was arrested for the fleeing charge on July 14, 2018, by Lansford police.

Mosley allegedly caused damage to the inside of a Lansford police cruiser and threatened to kill police officers when they were off duty. At the time of the incident he was driving a vehicle with no valid inspection and with no driver’s license.

At 9:40 p.m. on July 14, police were called to the 200 block of East Bertsch Street for a white car speeding up and down Bertsch Street and running stop signs. An officer saw a car matching that description speeding along West Patterson Street and started following it.

The driver of the white sedan turned onto Powell Street at a high speed, squealing the car’s tires, followed by another right onto East Bertsch Street. The officer then turned on his lights and siren but the driver did not stop. The officer then saw the driver run a stop sign at the intersection with Chestnut Street, then went back onto Patterson before turning into a parking spot.

Police said the driver refused commands to put the vehicle in park, turn it off and exit it with his hands in the air. At that point the officer recognized the man from previous incidents as Mosley.

While Mosley eventually got out of the vehicle he still ignored officers’ commands and officers used “substantial force” to handcuff his hands behind his back. Officers detected a very strong odor of alcohol on Mosley’s breath.

Mosley refused a field sobriety test and threatened the officers that he would find them off duty and kill them. He then kicked the inside of the police vehicle, causing damage to both back seat doors.

The harassment incidents occurred on July 12, when police were dispatched to a home in the 300 block of West Patterson Street.

The resident said that Mosley came onto his property and was trying to fight a man. He said Mosley had been drinking. The man said that Mosley was trying to fight him because he did not do a handshake right, and believes it was gang-related and he is not part of a gang.

Officer Matthew Houser talked to Mosley, but Mosley said he should get paid for his time and was very uncooperative and would not speak to police before leaving the area.

A short while later Houser was dispatched again because Mosley was back at the apartment door banging on the door.

Summit Hill and Nesquehoning police were called to assist, and when they arrived, Mosley was standing on the front sidewalk, pulled out his cellphone and began to videotape police. Mosley was again uncooperative.

A short while later police were dispatched back to that address after Mosley returned. Mosley was taken into custody, and became violent and began kicking the police car door. Mosley was then transported back to the station. Officers Richard Neikam and Kodie Pituch were monitoring Mosley in the car. Neikam said that Mosley spit in his face, hitting him around his mouth and eyes.

The two harassment counts were filed by Nesquehoning police for incidents at the county prison where Mosley was taken after being charged by Lansford police.

The DUI occurred on Feb. 14, 2018, in Mahoning Township along Mill Road. A blood test revealed a 0.20 BAC.

Serfass deferred and ordered the adult probation office to prepare a presentence investigation report.

Mosley was initially jailed on the charges but has since posted bail.
