In court documents filed against Joseph Tyrone Henderson Jr. in connection to the Dec. 8 home invasion, state police outline what lead them to making the two recent arrests.
Kevin Gachelin, the victim from the Franklintown assault, told police he had been in verbal and physical altercations with Rico Holmes and Brandon Lee Seamans. Police wrote they knew this information since the victim in the previous assault had said the same thing.
Trooper Jonathan Colarusso wrote he contacted Walter Reed Military base in Bethesda, Md., and spoke to a dispatcher about Seamans and Holmes. Seamans is a non-enlisted, civilian employee for the base, police said. Holmes is a private in the Army and patient at the hospital for undisclosed reasons.
On Christmas Eve, police interviewed Seamans who said Holmes asked him to meet at the Wendy’s in Dillsburg on Dec. 7. When he arrived, Holmes, Henderson, Hayes and another man were in a vehicle. Seamans said the men were in all black with masks and gloves and that one had a gun. Others had baseball bats.
Seamans said he was threatened by Hayes and Holmes not to ask questions, and that he was to lead the group to the first home in Franklin Township where they could find Trent Stevens. Seamans told police he was scared for his life and his family, so he complied. Seamans waited in the car as they went into Stevens’ home, and then said he was ordered to drive them to Gachelin’s apartment.
Seamans said he waited in the car there as well, court documents state.
