Fifth District Congressional candidate Derek Walker is charged with six crimes stemming from an incident last August. Two of those crimes are felonies. The allegations are sure to shake up the race for the Republican nomination in the Fifth District. But the Walker campaign says their candidate is still in the race.

Police filed felony charges of criminal trespass and burglary against Walker as well as four related misdemeanors. A criminal complaint says Walker allegedly broke into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment in Clearfield and video taped her in an intimate encounter with another man.

Walker told police he was inside the apartment, but said he only wanted to smooth things over with the woman. At the time, police told Walker not to have any contact with the ex-girlfriend, but Walker is accused of disobeying that order twice.
