A Tamaqua woman has been charged with trespassing on a condemned property on multiple occasions.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed by officer Karl Harig of the Tamaqua Police Department in the case against Judith Vacula:

Vacula, 50, trespassed on a property located at 237 E. Broad St. The building was condemned Jan. 6.

On Feb. 3, she was cited for trespassing on the property.

A letter was sent to Vacula on March 3 on behalf of the estate of Inez Larichiutra that she was told to stay off the property.

On March 19, officer Rick Bekesy responded to Vacula being on the front of the property, but when he arrived, she was gone.

Vacula and a man were seen unloading boxes into the property on Aug. 24.

On Oct. 5, officer Christopher Cordes saw Vacula on the property with furniture.

She was back on Nov. 15 and 20.

Vacula was at the borough office on Nov. 23, complaining that she needs the building to be uncondemned.

She said she has water delivered to the house. She has a generator hooked up for heat and electricity.

Vacula was advised that she does not own the building. She was advised again not to be in the building, and she said she was going to the magistrate’s office.

The code enforcement officer saw her there at 1:07 p.m.

Harig went to the property with officer Anthony Stanell.

Vacula said she has water brought to the house, and set up a manual pump.

Vacula was then taken into custody.

Vacula faces charges on five counts of criminal trespass.

She is currently free in lieu of $10,000 nonmonetary unsecured bail, and scheduled to have a preliminary hearing Dec. 21 before District Judge Stephen J. Bayer.
