Northampton County District Attorney Terry Houck spoke glowingly Monday morning about the investigation by Easton police into the March 5 break-in and attempted indecent assault in a College Hill residence that led to the arrest Saturday of a Bethlehem man.
Not only is Clement Swaby, 34, of the 600 block of Hayes Street, charged in the burglary and ensuing theft and assault try, but he’s “a strong person of interest for us” in the Feb. 22 break-in and theft across the street, Houck said.

“Who’s that knocking on the door like that?” McInnis’ girlfriend Sharon Bowie remembered saying.
The house was on fire, a neighbor shouted.
She ran up to the third floor and tried to put the fire out, she said. It was mostly burning outside at that point, flickering into the bedroom along the window sill, she said. But by the time she came downstairs to get more water, firefighters told her to get out, she said.
