A Lansford man has been charged after repeatedly trespassing and spitting at police.

According to the affidavit of probable cause filed by officer Matthew Houser of the Lansford Borough Police Department in the case against Michael Mosley:

At 8:18 p.m. July 12, Houser was dispatched to a home in the 300 block of West Patterson Street.The resident said that Mosley, 38, came onto his property and was trying to fight a man. He said Mosley had been drinking.

The man said that Mosley was trying to fight him because he did not do a handshake right, and believes it was gang-related and he is not part of a gang.

Houser talked to Mosley, but Mosley said he should get paid for his time and was very uncooperative and would not speak to police before leaving the area.

A short while later Houser was dispatched again because Mosley was back at the apartment door banging on the door.

Summit Hill and Nesquehoning police were called to assist, and when they arrived, Mosley was standing on the front sidewalk, pulled out his cellphone and began to videotape police.

Mosley was again uncooperative.

A short while later police were dispatched back to that address after Mosley returned.

Mosley was taken into custody, and became violent and began kicking the police car door.

Mosley was then transported back to the station. Officers Richard Neikam and Kodie Pituch were monitoring Mosley in the car. Neikam said that Mosley spit in his face, hitting him around his mouth and eyes.

Mosley faces charges of aggravated harassment by prisoner; criminal trespass; terroristic threats; and disorderly conduct.

He is currently incarcerated in the Carbon County Correctional Facility in lieu of $50,000 monetary bail, and scheduled to have a preliminary hearing before District Judge Casimir T. Kosciolek of Lansford.
