Lansdale Man Wanted for Kidnapping Caught in Pottstown

A Lansdale man who has been wanted by police since September for kidnapping and aggravated assault was taken into custody Tuesday by Pottstown Police Department.

Lansdale Borough Police confirmed that Jerrard Littlejohn, 29, was caught by Pottstown Police.

Police have been seeking Littlejohn for more than three months in connection with an alleged kidnapping and violent domestic assault.

According to police, on Sept. 2, Littlejohn chased his girlfriend and her friend while they were driving. The victim and her friend attempted to get away from Littlejohn, but were cornered when they accidentally went down a dead-end street.

“Littlejohn physically removed the victim from her friend’s vehicle, but not before spitting on the friend and kicking out the tail light of her car,” according to information from police.

After forcing the victim into his car, Littlejohn allegedly punched her in the face numerous times and continued to assault her until they arrived at their residence, police said.

When they got there, Littlejohn was briefly distracted, according to police. The victim escaped to a neighbor’s residence and called authorities. When police arrived to the 500 block of North Chestnut Street, they located the victim, “who was visibly shaken with numerous injuries to her face,” according to Lansdale Police.

Littlejohn was arraigned Tuesday by District Judge Harold D. Borek. He was sent to Montgomery County Prison after failing to post $50,000 bail.
