A Carbon County man entered guilty pleas on Monday in the county court in four pending criminal cases.

Daniel Scott Behler, 41, of Palmerton, pleaded to one count each of criminal trespass, a felony 3, receiving stolen property, felony 3; forgery, a felony 3; and operation of a vehicle without a valid inspection sticker, a summary, before Judge Steven R. Serfass.

The forgery charge stems back to an incident in 2015 filed by state police at Lehighton. The case has had 22 continuances filed in it.

Troopers said Behler took two vehicles not belonging to him, forged signatures on certificates of transfers on the vehicles and then sold them.

He also admitted to trespassing at a residence along Cherry Hill Road in Towamensing Township on property of the Bowmanstown Water Authority; he admitted to receiving a Harley-Davidson motorcycle on or about April 30, 2018, at a repair shop he was operating in Parryville which was later determined to be stolen; and to driving a vehicle on June 1, 2017, along Avenue A in Palmerton without a proper inspection sticker.

Serfass had to delay sentencing because Behler is questioning a restitution claim made for one of the vehicles sold in the 2015 incident.

Behler entered his plea via video conference from the county prison.
