CLEARFIELD COUNTY, Pa. —
A Clearfield County man has pleaded guilty to burning a cross in white woman's yard because she had a black man living there.
A federal grand jury in April indicted 20-year-old Ryan Held, of Phillipsburg, on two counts of interfering with housing for the August 2010 incident in Woodland in Clearfield County.
Federal prosecutors say Held sought to intimidate the woman and her male friend. The alleged victims are not named in the indictment.
The crimes carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 7.
U.S. District Judge Kim Gibson revoked Held's bond and ordered that he be confined until the sentencing.
