JUDGE TO DECIDE IF BAIL SHOULD BE GRANTED FOR MURRYSVILLE MAN

A County Judge will decide by Friday if bail should be granted for a Murrysville man accused of breaking into a neighbor’s home to make sexual overtures.  The Trib reports that on September 1st 47-year-old Gregory Schneider walked through an unlocked door, tapped the victim on the shoulder and made sexual advances, and groped her before leaving.  He admitted to going into the empty home a few days before.  Dr. Louis Martone testified that Schneider was diagnosed with schizophrenia and has been treated since 2017 to control his symptoms. Last April, doctors altered Schneider’s medication, a change Martone said could have triggered a manic episode. Since being jailed, Schneider’s medication change was reversed and his condition has “leveled,”  He is being held without bond.
