Kevin Brown, 28, of Newtown Square, Pa., waived a hearing before Magisterial District Judge Lee Hunter on the charge of receiving stolen property. In exchange for the waiver the charge of theft by unlawful taking or disposition was withdrawn. The charges stem from an incident 3:30 p.m., May 11, at a home in the 400 block of Merlin Road.
According to the affidavit, Newtown Sgt. Dan Dougherty responded to investigate a report of several items, valued at $3,344, stolen from her home the previous day. Discovered missing was a laptop, and two large televisions.
Brown was remanded to the George W. Hill Correctional Facility when he was unable to post 10 percent of $10,000 bail. He is scheduled for a Sept. 12 arraignment in Common Pleas Court.
