As violent crimes continue to rise, police have been forced to crack down harder in various neighborhoods. William Oberschelp, 28, waived all of his charges to court Thursday morning, as he is charged with a slew of offenses including attempted criminal homicide. According to police, Oberschelp broke into his ex-girlfriend’s home on Thompsonville Road in Peters Township in July of 2023. Oberschelp told police that an altercation ensued, which resulted in him hitting her in the back of the head with a hammer. The victim’s father eventually found her after he heard noises coming from the garage. According to court documents, Oberschelp kicked the victim while she was lying on the ground, and fled the scene with her cellphone. Oberschelp was denied bond, and he was ordered to have no contact with the victim or her family.
