CARLISLE, Pa. (WHTM) -

Police in Cumberland County said they have arrested a man who was found hiding in the attic of his ex-girlfriend's home.

Windsor J. Morda, 27, was taken into custody Sunday on charges of burglary, criminal trespass, stalking, simple assault and harassment, according to North Middleton Township police.

He was sent to Cumberland County Prison and was being held without bail. A preliminary hearing was scheduled for March 11.

Officers on Tuesday evening responded to the ex-girlfriend's residence, where she reported that she came home and was being harassed by Morda by text messages, police said.

She then found an attic hatch ajar and discovered Morda in the crawl space with a hunting knife, police said.

Morda fled the home before police arrived, but continued to harass his ex-girlfriend while officers were on the scene, authorities said.

At the time of the incident, police said Morda was out on bail on a separate assault against the same victim.
