The CDT previously reported on the following individuals who were slated for preliminary hearings Wednesday at the Centre County Courthouse. District Justice Steven Lachman presided over the hearings.

▪ Michael Marino, 21, of Madison, Conn., was charged with a misdemeanor count of simple assault and a summary charge of harassment in November after allegedly shoving another man to the ground. The fall reportedly caused a vertebrae fracture, which required surgery to correct.

He waived his right to a hearing. The case moves toward trial.

▪ Dylan Sogor, 24, of Boalsburg, was charged with a misdemeanor count of simple assault and a summary count of harassment on Dec. 28 after a reported altercation with a woman. Sogor reportedly pushed the woman to the ground twice, causing a laceration to the head.

He waived his right to a hearing. The case moves toward trial.

▪ Matthew Besecker, 29, of Centre Hall, was charged with a felony count of criminal trespassing and a summary charge of criminal mischief New Year’s Day after allegedly entering a woman’s home in Penn Township. The woman reported finding Besecker “hunched over in the shower of the bathroom connected to her bedroom” before he fled.

He waived his right to a hearing. The case moves toward trial.

▪ Michael Sagula, 21, of Macungie, was charged with four felony counts of intent to deliver, two felony counts of criminal use of a communication facility and two misdemeanor counts of possession of a controlled substance on Jan. 5 after an informant provided information to authorities that Sagula was reportedly dealing marijuana.

He waived his right to a hearing. The case moves toward trial.

All individuals arrested are provided the right to a preliminary hearing after they are arraigned by a district judge. The next stage in the case is a pretrial conference, where the person may plead guilty or not guilty, before the case moves to sentencing or a formal trial.
