Unity Man Arrested After Violent Altercation at Local Personal Care Home

In a recent incident that sent ripples through the Unity Township community, a 53-year-old local man, John Michael Humenik, was taken into custody following an unsettling event at a personal care facility. State police confirmed the arrest, stemming from allegations of assault, harassment, and defiant trespass at the Newhaven Court at Lindwood care home.

The quiet evening at Newhaven Court was disrupted around 7 p.m.

on Thursday when authorities were summoned to address reports of a man who had allegedly breached property restrictions and was making threats. According to official reports, Humenik, who was reportedly prohibited from being on the premises, entered the facility, escalating a tense situation.

During the incident, Humenik is accused of striking an employee with an open hand.

The situation reportedly worsened as he allegedly issued chilling threats to other staff members, stating his intention to "come back and finish them." Such an event naturally raised significant concerns for the safety and well-being of both residents and the dedicated staff working within the care home.

Responding state troopers quickly intervened, leading to Humenik's arrest.

He now faces formal charges including simple assault, harassment, and defiant trespass – serious allegations that reflect the gravity of the reported actions. Following his apprehension, Humenik was arraigned and subsequently released on a $5,000 unsecured bond, a standard procedure allowing for release while awaiting further legal proceedings.

The legal process is set to continue with a preliminary hearing scheduled for November 8.

This incident underscores the importance of security protocols and swift law enforcement response in protecting vulnerable environments like personal care homes and ensuring the safety of those who work there.
