A well-known local man is facing felony charges in connection with an incident that occurred nearly three years ago.
According to a criminal complaint filed by State Police, 69-year-old Ronald Heist stands accused of charges including criminal trespass and theft.
A Donegal Township resident reported a burglary from a barn studio in June of 2017. Numerous items were stolen and the police were not able to determine the person responsible at the time. Two months ago the victim informed police that he had purchased the same mirror that was stolen from him from Heist. He also provided police with photos from a trail camera that allegedly showed Heist at his barn studio in May of 2017.
Heist is nationally known as a result of his appearance on the first season of the History Channel television show American Pickers in 2010.
