JERSEY SHORE – Just nine days after being released from the Clinton County Prison, Matthew James Munro broke into his mother’s home in the 300 block of Glover Street on Wednesday morning and kept law enforcement at bay for nearly two hours before he was forcibly removed from the property, according to Lycoming Regional police.

Upon returning home from work about 11:45 a m., the mother noticed her door was open, which she knew was not right, police said.

When she walked in, she saw a book bag that resembled one belonging to her son.

“Mom,” the 38-year-old son called out. “I kicked your (expletive) door down,’ he told her, according to an affidavit filed by Detective Justin Segura.

When the woman asked him why he did that, Munro, of Locust Street, Lamar, told her he “was undercover and that he saw her leave earlier in a blue car and return in a white car,” the detective stated in the court document.

“Feeling very unsafe, the mother backed out of the house and called police,” the affidavit stated.

When officers announced their arrival to Munro through a doorway, he told them he had a loaded handgun and that “I’m going to unload it,” Segura said.

Officers backed off the porch and set up a safety perimeter, closing nearby streets to motorists and pedestrians, the detective said.

For the next 90-plus minutes, officers, using a patrol cruiser’s intercom, attempted to get Munro to exit the house, but he refused, Segura said.

At one point, Munro, using an obscenity, came to a back door and told the police, “You can’t arrest me,” the court document stated. He then walked back into the house.

Finally, about 1:30 p.m., Munro again came to the back door and this time allowed officers inside.

Following a brief struggle, officers took Munro to the floor, handcuffed him and brought him outdoors, placing him in the back of a cruiser.

He had a 9mm bullet in his pocket, and a handgun was recovered from a second-floor bedroom, Segura said Munro, who was jailed until April 22 on felony charges filed by state police at Lamar, was taken before District Judge Denise Dieter and arraigned on new charges, including possessing an instrument of crime, felony trespassing, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct criminal mischief.

He told Dieter, “I’m thinking I’m psychic. I had weird feelings about my mom’s safety.”

Munro was placed in the Lycoming County Prison after the judge denied him bail.

Concerning the criminal matter in Clinton County, Munro was jailed on April 11 on charges of burglary, theft and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle, according to court records. He waived his preliminary hearing in this case on April 22, and was released on $20,000 bail.
