Harrisburg Police officer on paid leave after being charged in domestic incident
YORK COUNTY, Pa. (WHTM) — A Harrisburg Police officer is on paid leave after being charged in a domestic incident Sunday at his York County home, charging documents show. Lee Brown, 39, of Mount Wolf, is accused of grabbing and yanking a woman off a couch and injuring her, while they were at home, along Market Street in East Manchester Township, charging documents filed by York County Regional Police Department state. Harrisburg Police confirmed that Brown is an officer with them and that he was placed on paid leave following the incident. Police said the victim was able to text someone, 'please help me, call the police,' after Brown allegedly grabbed her. The woman came running out of the house after police arrived just after 12:30 a.m. She was soaking wet, crying and reported that she didn't feel safe. Police said they took her to a community park nearby to talk about the alleged incident. Charging docs show the victim related how Brown allegedly told her that if police got involved, there would be a shootout. Brown and the woman were out drinking at a members-only bar. While on their way home, police said, they reportedly started to argue. Police said when they got home, the woman went to lie down on the couch, and that's when Brown allegedly squirted her with a water gun and poured water on her. When she tried to get him to stop, that is when he allegedly grabbed her and pulled her off the living room couch, police said. The victim had scrapes on her leg, ribs and shoulder. Police said in the charges, she reported getting those marks from a coffee table made out of a slab of a large tree that still has bark on the edges. State Trooper injured after fleeing driver 'intentionally rammed' cruiser during I-81 chase Brown said he was 'just messing' around with the victim when he was squirting her with the water gun, and allegedly denied getting physical, but claimed that he was struck in the mouth. The charges state Brown showed officers a video he took on his phone that showed the woman crying and trying to cover her face while he was allegedly antagonizing her. Brown then reportedly told police to arrest both of them 'because he knows how domestic violence incidents get handled,' charging docs show. Arrangements were made for the alleged victim to stay elsewhere, and while she was packing her bags, she found that her underwear was all cut up, and her Apple watch was shoved in the trash can. Brown allegedly denied any involvement in that. A report from WellSpan Health showed the woman sustained multiple abrasions and a contusion to her left rib from the incident, police said. Brown faces a misdemeanor charge of simple assault and summary charges of harassment and criminal mischief. Brown was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Thomas Reilly, who set unsecured bail at $15,000, which he posted. His preliminary hearing is set for July 30.

Disturbing doorbell video shows "box demon" at Pennsylvania home
Disturbing Ring camera video from a central Pennsylvania home shows a mysterious stranger with a paper plate face appearing on the front porch and leaving something behind. "I am the box demon, I leave this gift, this box, a gift for you," they say into the camera. The "demon" is seen wearing a mask that appears to be made from a paper plate with eyes and a mouth drawn on it. Attached to the paper plate are multicolored petals like the petals of a flower. They then left an empty box on the porch. The video was taken around 4 a.m. on Tuesday, March 11 on East 10th Avenue in Northern York Borough, the Northern York County Regional Police Department said in a news release. "The homeowner does not recognize the person. The homeowner does not know what the mask or the term 'Box Demon' was to represent," the release said. No word on what, or who, the Box Demon is. Some social media commenters have speculated the "demon" looks like the character Dandy from the "Dandy's World" horror game on Roblox, an online platform where users can create, share and play other users' games. Dandy also has a round face resembling a flower, with multicolored petals around the outside.
