The accused members of Erie Predator Catchers are facing charges in a new robbery case

Investigators wrote that they learned that Perez still had the stolen phone, and were told that he keeps trophies from his “catches,” including phones. Police also obtained a recording of a chat log they said lured the man to Frontier Park, in which alleged members of Erie Predator Catchers identified themselves as 15 years old and then 19 years old, according to information in the affidavits.

After the confrontation with the alleged Erie Predator Catchers members, investigators wrote in the affidavits, the man got back into his vehicle. Perez reportedly tried to open a door of the car, which was locked, before Farris and Munsch climbed onto the roof of the man’s car and Perez sat on the hood until they fell off as the man drove away, according to the affidavit statements.

Police said Kalicky then called 911 and reported that he and others were victims of a collision, and he told responding officers that the man had run over Farris, detectives wrote in the affidavits.

What happened in the earlier case?

Perez, Kalicky, Farris, Munsch and Myers were charged Sept. 27 with misdemeanors including theft and larceny in an incident that Erie police say occurred May 27 in Frontier Park. Police accuse the five of luring a man to Frontier Park while using a 16-year-old as bait, then surrounding the man’s vehicle, ordering him out of the vehicle and taking a gun from him.
