Roy M. Hogan Jr. will spend years, if not decades, behind state prison bars after a Schuylkill County jury found him guilty Thursday of trying to kill two people, and assaulting a third, in March 2018 at a Schuylkill Haven home.
According to the Republican Herald, Schuylkill Haven police charged Hogan with twice breaking into the 406 Orchard Ave. home of Brooke C. Ditzler in the early morning hours of March 18. The second time, police alleged, Hogan stabbed Andrew S. Matlock and Michael Seltzer multiple times each and Mallory L. Geiger once.
The same jury found Hogan not guilty of one additional count each of attempted homicide and aggravated assault.
President Judge William E. Baldwin revoked the defendant’s $300,000 total straight cash bail and said he would schedule sentencing at a later date.
