Bradford Man Charged with Trespass, Terroristic Threats; $20K Bail
BRADFORD, Pa. – On September 6, 2026, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania filed a criminal complaint against 42‑year‑old Justin Hallock of Bradford, alleging two felony offenses. Hallock was arrested the same day by the Bradford City Police Department, under the direction of Officer Mark A. DeLuca Sr.
The charges stem from an incident recorded as Incident No. 2026‑09060045. Hallock is accused of violating 18 Pa.C.S. § 3503(a)(1)(I), a third‑degree felony for criminal trespass – entering a structure without permission, and 18 Pa.C.S. § 2706(a)(1), a first‑degree misdemeanor for making terroristic threats with the intent to terrorize another. Both offenses are dated September 6, 2026.
Following his arrest, Hallock was taken to the McKean County Prison (County Jail) on September 6, 2026. He was unable to post bail, and a monetary bail of $20,000.00 was set by Magisterial District Court 48‑1‑01. The bail remains unpaid, and Hallock remains confined.
Magisterial District Judge Richard W. Luther Jr. is presiding over the case. A preliminary arraignment is scheduled for September 6, 2026 at 12:30 p.m., and a preliminary hearing is set for September 10, 2026 at 8:30 a.m. in the McKean County Courthouse, Smethport, PA.

The case remains active and is listed as “Awaiting Preliminary Hearing” and “Awaiting Preliminary Arraignment.” No disposition, fines, costs, or restitution have been entered at this time.
Hallock has been fingerprinted (MDJS 1200) on September 7, 2026 at 11:20 a.m. He has requested a public defender, and the application for appointment of counsel has been noted as pending.
