Warren man has request for reduced bail revoked

Failing to disclose your prior record is a sure-fire way to have your request for reduced bail revoked.

Just ask Michael Wayne Herbert Vanderhoff.

Vanderhoff, 108 N. South St., 22, was charged by Pennsylvania State Police last month with involuntary deviate sexual intercourse – forcible compulsion and indecent assault – without consent of other.

Online court records show he is being held in the Warren County Jail on $75,000 bail.

The woman told police that “she had met Vanderhoff and (he) had driven her to Morrison Run Road” where he ultimately forced her to perform oral sex on him.

She told police that Vanderhoff “took her back to her house and begged her not to tell their mutual friend,” who is roommates with Vanderhoff.

Chief Public Defender John Parroccini said that he filed a motion to modify bail at Vanderhoff’s request.

District Attorney Rob Greene said that he was opposed to the motion.

He explained that the prior record portion on Vanderhoff’s bail application was left blank. He then told the court that Vanderhoff was convicted of aggravated indecent assault as a juvenile and noted how similar that offense is to his current charges.

He said that $75,000 bail was on the low end but was appropriate.

Hammond added that Vanderhoff was out on $5,000 bail for simple assault and harassment charges filed in January when the offenses that precipitated the current charges occurred.

He then denied Vanderhoff’s request.
