A Penndel man was remanded to the Bucks County Correctional Facility this week on charges including robbery, theft and simple assault.
Anthony Morales, 43, is accused of walking into the home of a woman he used to be in a relationship with Sunday around 7:30 p.m. From there, the two got into an argument and he allegedly attacked her before leaving with two phones.

According to court papers filed by Pennsylvania State Police, Morales entered the woman’s home in the 400 block of Main Street in Hulmeville and sat on her couch. The two began to argue and she told him their relationship was over and that he needed to leave.
Morales threatened the woman and then began physically assaulting her after she stood up to ask him once again to leave, state police said.
The two wrestled on the ground and Morales took her cell phone after she stated she was calling the police. He then took her cordless house phone, state police said.
