Pottstown Man Charged in

Overnight Break-In Assault Case

Derelle Williams, 37, of Pottstown (Montgomery County DA)

A Pottstown man is facing multiple serious charges following a series of alleged overnight home invasions and assaults in Montgomery County, according to the district attorney.

Authorities identified the suspect as Derelle Williams, 37, who is accused of breaking into two homes on April 23 and assaulting the occupants. In one incident in Lower Pottsgrove, police responded to a call on Terraced Hill Court, where an elderly woman was found to have suffered severe injuries, including a brain bleed, facial trauma and other physical harm after an alleged attack in her bedroom. Investigators say items were also taken from the home.

Earlier that morning, police in Pottstown responded to a separate burglary on Walnut Street, where a resident reported waking to find an intruder in her bedroom. Authorities allege the suspect was armed and carried out an assault before fleeing.

Investigators later identified a vehicle connected to the incidents and executed a search, recovering items believed to be linked to the crimes, including stolen property and other evidence.

Williams is now charged with multiple offenses, including burglary, robbery, aggravated assault, sexual assault, strangulation and related charges. The case remains under investigation as it proceeds through the legal system.

Steel River Adds Summer

Theater Camp Due to Demand

Steel River Playhouse has announced an additional summer camp due to strong interest, giving more students the opportunity to take part in a musical theater experience.

The newly added “Into the Woods, Jr.” camp will run from August 10 through August 21 and is open to students entering grades 7 through 12. Participants will rehearse and perform a junior version of the popular musical, which brings together classic fairy tale characters in an interconnected story.

Performances are scheduled for August 20 at 6 p.m. and August 21 at 1 p.m. Organizers note that enrollment is limited and the camp will only run if minimum participation is met.
