TOBY TWP., Pa. (EYT) — A Rimersburg woman is facing charges for allegedly hindering the apprehension of her boyfriend who had active arrest warrants. 

According to court documents, Clarion-based State Police filed criminal charges against 33-year-old Kendra Marie McNaughton, of Rimersburg, on Saturday, September 3, in Magisterial District Judge Jeffrey C. Miller’s office.

On August 19, PSP Clarion responded to a residence on Pump Station Road, in Rimersburg, Clarion County, where Kendra McNaughton was the victim of harassment involving her boyfriend Zachery Steele, according to a criminal complaint filed on September 3.

It was noted in the complaint that Steele has warrants out of Clarion County.

McNaughton was informed at this time that Steele has warrants, and if he is located in her presence, she would be arrested for hindering the apprehension. She reportedly told police that she “wanted nothing to do” with Steele, according to the complaint.

On September 3, around 5:45 p.m., police went to the residence to speak with a minor who was living there.

According to the complaint, when troopers pulled into the driveway, Steele was observed running the weed eater around the house. He noticed the troopers and headed for the corner of the trailer, dropped the weed eater, and took off running.

Troopers came back to the rear of the house and spoke with a known male who advised that the children and McNaughton were inside the residence. McNaughton then came out of the residence, the complaint notes.

She was arraigned at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, September 3, in front of Judge Miller on the following charge:

– Hinder Apprehension/Prosecution — Harbor or Conceal, Felony 3

Unable to post $2,500.00 monetary bail, McNaughton was lodged in the Clarion County Jail.

She was released on September 6 after posting bail.

A preliminary hearing is set for Tuesday, September 13, at 2:00 p.m. with Judge Miller presiding.
