George Montgomery IV

CENTER TWP — A Washington County man faces a hearing next week on charges he allegedly threatened to kill a former girlfriend, apparently after a bad breakup.

The defendant, George L. Montgomery IV, 25, of Eighty Four, also allegedly threatened to send lewd pictures of the woman to her family and post them on the internet.

State police arrested Montgomery on Saturday. He is being held in the Butler County Prison on $5,000 bond. He is charged with misdemeanor counts of terroristic threats and harassment.

Police said they spoke to the 27-year-old Center Township woman at the barracks on Saturday. She alleged the defendant, her ex-boyfriend, started harassing her after they broke up.

She advised he had been calling and texting her “regarding his feelings after the break up,” according to charging documents, and told her that he “wants her to feel hurt like he is.”

The victim recounted Montgomery threatened to send lewd pictures of her to others and to post them online, police said.

The defendant also allegedly told her, “I will find you, hunt you down and kill you,” documents said.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. Jan. 28 at the office of District Judge Lewis Stoughton in Chicora. Online court records did not list an attorney for him.

Butler County court records, meanwhile, showed the victim applied for and was granted a temporary protection from abuse order against Montgomery on Tuesday.

In seeking the protective order, she said in the application that the defendant “grabbed ahold of me when we were breaking up and threw me up against a wall.”

A hearing for a permanent PFA is also scheduled for Jan. 28.
