A Tamaqua woman who was sentenced to jail for trespassing in 2022 was charged again with the same offenses.

Tamaqua police said Judith A. Vacula faces two misdemeanor charges of defiant trespass for entering an apartment building at 237, 239, 241 E. Broad St.

The property is posted as condemned, and a court order banning Vacula from the building was issued by Schuylkill County courts.

Police said that during August, they received a report of a woman, later identified as Vacula, going in and out of the apartment building and posting signs. Officers said a condemnation notice sign was covered by another sign.

On Aug. 30, police said Vacula called the department about a theft from the property, and officers told her that the property did not belong to her.

“When Mrs. Vacula was arrested last November, any and all personal property that she had illegally placed inside of the structures remained there,” police said.

On Sept. 12, Vacula called the department to report that signs were stolen from the property.

Officers also told her that the eastern side of the parcel had since been purchased by new owners, but Vacula claimed she owned part of the parcel.

Later on Sept. 12, witnesses saw Vacula posting more signs at the property. Near the entrance that police said Vacula had “illegally used and trespassed,” there was a sign with her name. Below a condemnation placard, she wrote a note that said, “This placard is wrong.”

She also posted signs claiming that she owned the structure. Vacula does not own the property, according to Schuylkill County online real estate records.

According to police, “Vacula is currently on probation for the remainder of her sentence from her previous conviction and under court order to stay off the property in question.”

She was also charged with trespassing at the properties in 2020.
