Tamaqua police reported the following incidents:

• A Tamaqua man who police say beat a woman over the course of three days is in Schuylkill County Prison.

Officers said they spoke to the woman at 11:37 p.m. July 11 near her apartment on the 200 block of Cedar Street. She appeared to be in severe pain and had cuts on her nose and above her eye, police said. She told police that Mario Lorenzana, 35, had been abusing her for three days. Officers said numerous children at the location were crying and hysterical.

The woman said that in the most recent incident, Lorenzana pushed her down and punched her until the children chased him away.

One child who was part of the chase was still missing and the woman was worried that Lorenzana would attempt to return to Guatemala with the child. She told police that Lorenzana was an illegal immigrant.

Police eventually found Lorenzana and took him into custody. Officers said he begged to be deported to Guatemala. He was arraigned on charges of simple assault and harassment and committed to prison on $25,000 bail.
