According to court documents, police were called to the 200 block of Waltham Drive in Fairless Hills late Tuesday night. The victim reported she had seen Lennon going through her things and had confronted him after noticing 20 of her Xanax pills were missing. Lennon then became enraged and attacked the woman, according to the probable cause affidavit.
As noted in court records, when the woman tried to push Lennon out of the room, he slammed her with the door and tackled her to the floor in the nearby kitchen. Lennon then held the woman down and yelled, “I’m going to kill you,” repeatedly.
According to the affidavit, the woman was able to break Lennon’s hold and run outside to seek help from a neighbor. The neighbor reportedly struggled with Lennon on the front yard until police arrived. It was then that Lennon ran back inside the home only to be apprehended by Falls authorities.
