IP sentence given in assault, theft cases

Amanda Lollo, 23, of Mars, charged in plot to lure, assault man in Forward Township.

After being charged with luring a man with the promise of sex and drugs before attacking him, a Mars woman was sentenced to the county Intermediate Punishment Program.

Amanda M. Lollo, 26, was sentenced Wednesday to 2 years in the program, with the first year on house arrest with electronic monitoring, by Judge William Shaffer.

Lollo pleaded guilty June 5 to misdemeanor simple assault and theft.

She was also charged alongside Morgan N. Pogel, 24, of Pittsburgh, who currently awaits further court proceedings.

State police said Lollo messaged a man on Facebook, inviting him to smoke marijuana and have sex, according to court documents.

Pogel, who was hidden in the back seat, allegedly wrapped a leather purse strap around (the man’s) neck in attempt to strangle him, according to a police affidavit.

Lollo was also charged by Adams Township police with two felony counts of forgery, six misdemeanor counts of access device fraud and one count each of theft and receiving stolen property after an incident on June 12.

She pleaded guilty to the theft charge in that case.
