Had the horrible misfortune of dealing with this person a couple years ago. I had an unresolved bad check charge in another county for $79.00 that had turned into a warrant that was hanging over my head that I wanted to resolve. I voluntarily turned myself into this office when a PA State constable was called by this offices' staff to formally arrest me. This judge then declared me a "fugitive from justice", and set my bail at $100,000. That's correct, One hundred thousand dollars. For a $79 bad check charge. Despite having close ties to the community, being a father and having a full time job. I spent the night in Franklin County jail, and in the morning was transported to the neighboring county jail where the formal charge was. I was told I would see a judge the next morning. The next morning I had to be at work, so I needed to get out. I paid a bail bondsman $5,000 on my credit card to get me out. A hearing was scheduled approx. 2 weeks later. The judge in the presiding county literally gasped when he saw the age of the charge, amount of the check and most of all the bail amount that Judy Eyer set for me. He looked at me and said I had obviously suffered enough and paid for this 7 year old mistake. He dismissed the charge instantly and the case was thrown out. Be very cautious in dealing with these magistrates and constables. They come across as being your friend and only wanting to help you, but once they get their cuffs on you and you are in their jail it's a whole different ball game. Lawyer up and have lots of cash set aside and friends a phone call away when dealing with these "public servants".
Judge Eyer allowed his good friend, a well known slum lord in Chambersburg, to get away with tricking tenants who had the misfortune to be new to the area into signing a lease by promising to fix damages left by a previous tenant through a gentleman's agreement, and broke that agreement, then when these same tenants had to break the lease because their daughter had cancer, the slumlord promised let them out of the lease and give a recommendation only if they paid a for two months and walked away from the deposit AND vacated the house in 4 days, which they did. But the slumlord then took the lease that he tricked them into signing which said they accepted the house's condition, but didn't have anything about the verbal agreements made to fix the place, and sue these innocent people for 'damages' made to the house made by the tenant before them. I hope the People of Franklin county read this and remember this the next time Judge Eyer's up for re-election.
