A McAdoo man is locked up in Schuylkill County Prison after Pennsylvania State Police say he followed a woman along Interstate 81 and repeatedly attempted to strike her vehicle.
Luis Velazquez Camacho, 27, of McAdoo, is charged by the Pennsylvania State Police at Frackville with:
- Stalking (M1) – Repeatedly committing acts to cause fear
- Four counts of Recklessly Endangering Another Person (M2)
- Four counts of Harassment – Following in a Public Place (Summary)
According to court documents, troopers were dispatched around 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, February 26, 2026, to the area of Interstate 81 South near mile marker 131.1 in Mahanoy Township for a report of a rolling domestic incident.
Police said the alleged victim reported that earlier that morning she had been involved in a verbal altercation outside her residence in McAdoo with Velazquez Camacho, identified in the affidavit as her ex-boyfriend and father of her children.
After dropping her children off at daycare, the woman told troopers she attempted to leave the area and travel south on Interstate 81 when Velazquez Camacho allegedly followed her in his vehicle.
According to the affidavit, Velazquez Camacho attempted to strike her vehicle several times from the left side and forced her off the roadway. The woman reported she was forced off the road approximately four times. She continued south on I-81 before taking the South Lehigh Avenue (Route 61 South) ramp toward St. Clair Borough in an attempt to get away.
Police said she ultimately drove through St. Clair and was assisted by a local officer in the area of East Hancock and North Third Streets.
Troopers noted that no visible signs of injury were observed and no visible damage was reported on either vehicle.
Velazquez Camacho was taken into custody and later transported to PSP Frackville for processing.
He was arraigned before Magisterial District Judge Anthony Kilker, Shenandoah, and committed to Schuylkill County Prison on $50,000 straight cash bail.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for March 5, 2026, before Judge Kilker.
All charges are allegations, and the defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
