Just one week after being released from a state prison and placed on parole, Angela Marie Burns began “prostituting to make money,” state police alleged in court papers.
The 28-year-old woman advertised her “business” on an escort website, police said.
After an undercover state trooper contacted her via text messaging on March 10, the two agreed to meet in the city’s Newberry neighborhood the next day, according to an affidavit. After getting into the trooper’s unmarked car, Burns, of 611 Howard St., allegedly offered to provide sexual favors.
She has been charged with one misdemeanor count of prostitution and sent a summons to appear before District Judge Jon E. Kemp.

MUNCY Hearing the commotion coming from the apartment above, the woman grabbed her phone to call 911 when she heard a man upstairs yelling “Someone call the cops,” according to court records filed by borough Patrolman Ernest Delp.
Upstairs in the apartment they share at 8 S. Washington St., Sheree Speicher was beating Richard Bates with a metal pole, Delp alleged in an affidavit.
As she struck Bates, Speicher, 38, told him she was going to kill him, the officer alleged. Police were called to the apartment about 4:40 p.m. on April 26, the officer added.
The two had just returned from a trip to Philadelphia, and Bates soon went into the bedroom to take a nap, but Speicher began arguing with him, Delp said police were told.
Six charged in separate drug cases
Upon entering David Lopez’s city apartment at 1037 Dewey Ave. with a search warrant on April 27, members of the county’s Narcotics Enforcement Unit (NEU) discovered packaged crack cocaine in a safe, a dresser and a bedroom closet, according to an affidavit filed at Frey’s office.
Also in the safe was a stolen handgun, investigators said, adding that Lopez, 28, had on him an estimated $3,000 of suspected drug money and two cellphones, one a girlfriend told police was his “drug work phone,” court records stated.
An estimated two ounces of crack cocaine was seized at the scene. Following his arraignment hours later before District Judge Christian Frey on charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance, illegal possession of a firearm and felony receiving stolen property, Lopez was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $150,000 bail.
