A guilty plea in a stalking case was rejected in McKean County Court this afternoon.
41-year-old Keith E. Smith is facing 65 charges connected to stalking, harassment, and disorderly conduct. Smith tried to enter a guilty plea in McKean County Court Thursday afternoon, but Judge John Pavlock rejected the plea when Smith took exception to language in the plea agreement, insisting that message he sent were just “empty threats.”
Smith is being held in lieu of $200,000. The case has been continued so Smith can consult with counsel.
