A Pennsylvania man accused of stealing more than 100 sets of human remains from a historic cemetery appeared in court Friday, where he reportedly waived his right to an evidentiary hearing.

Jonathan Gerlach, 34, appeared in Delaware County court wearing a lime green prison jumpsuit. Clean-shaven with his hair tied back in a bun, he looked noticeably different from his booking photo. He spoke little during the brief proceeding, according to FOX 29 Philadelphia.

Gerlach is facing nearly 500 charges — including burglary, abuse of a corpse and desecration of monuments — tied to a disturbing investigation at Mount Moriah Cemetery near Philadelphia, the outlet reported.

During Friday’s hearing, prosecutors dropped two burglary charges but filed additional counts related to alleged cemetery break-ins in Lancaster and Luzerne counties, FOX 29 reported.

The case has shocked both investigators and the public since Gerlach’s arrest in January.

At the time, Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse described what detectives uncovered as “a horror movie come to life.”

Authorities say more than 100 full or partial sets of human and skeletal remains were recovered from Gerlach’s home in Ephrata and a storage unit.

Some of the remains are believed to be centuries old, while others belonged to infants, according to prosecutors.

Police said Gerlach was initially identified after officers conducting surveillance spotted bones and skulls inside his vehicle at Mount Moriah Cemetery

Investigators later observed him leaving the cemetery carrying a burlap bag, a crowbar and other tools. Authorities allege he admitted to stealing approximately 30 sets of remains.

The case has been especially distressing for families with loved ones buried at Mount Moriah.

“I believe their souls are in heaven. I still think it’s disruptive,” Judy Prichard McCleary, whose ancestors’ remains were disturbed, told The Associated Press.

Gerlach remains behind bars in Delaware County with bail set at $1 million, according to FOX 29.

Court records do not indicate whether Gerlach has entered a plea. An attorney representing him could not be immediately identified Friday.

The Delaware County District Attorney’s Office could not be immediately reached by Fox News Digital for comment.

If you need a quick summation of what it’s like to be living in the year 2026, boy, do I have a story for you.

Nike recently put up a sign ahead of the Boston Marathon on Newberry Street that may have seemed innocuous to anyone with a brain.

However, you would be wise to remind yourself these are stupid times we are living in.

Take a look at exactly what the sign said and figure out for yourself why people are so offended.

“Runners welcome. Walkers tolerated.”

Clever and cute. Or, so I thought.

Nike reportedly received major backlash for “pace shaming,” and were forced to take it down and issue an apology.

Okay, so we are just making up words now, huh?

“Pace shaming?” We are seriously living in some of the softest times imaginable.

Also, “major backlash?” How many people complained about this freaking sign to where a company like Nike felt compelled to take it down?

Then again, this is Nike we are talking about.

The same company who was allegedly involved in funding a study related to youth transgender athletes, so of course they’re not exactly playing with a full deck here.

Regardless, I have a hard time believing more than two or three people bitched and moaned about this sign, and I’m sure all three of them have never seen the inside of a gym, let alone run a marathon.

Nike is getting crushed on every corner of the internet, so I’m guessing the backlash they’re receiving from taking the sign down is far greater than any they received from the sign initially.

With how bad the obesity epidemic has gotten in this country, I think we could use a “pace shamer” or two.

This is just another example of a very vocal minority getting their way while the rest of us normies stand around and scratch our heads, wondering how the slope got so damn slippery.

Nike bowing to the woke mob is nothing new, but it doesn’t get any less disheartening.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I need to go “pace shame” my two-year-old son, because that baby weight doesn’t seem to be going anywhere (I kid, I kid).

Dexter Lawrence’s new chapter in the NFL has begun, and he admitted for the first time since the New York Giants traded him to the Cincinnati Bengals that he has a “fire in me that I’ve never had before.”

The Giants fulfilled Lawrence’s trade request on Saturday, sending the three-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle to the Bengals in exchange for the No. 10 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft — a blockbuster deal that changes things in the first round set to kick off from Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

Lawrence was the 17th overall pick of the 2019 draft, and he quickly became a fan-favorite for the Giants as well as arguably the best interior defensive lineman in the NFL.

But, despite two more years left on his contract and a new regime with John Harbaugh in place as the Giants’ new head coach, Lawrence wanted out. In the past, players have used that as a strategic move to get a new, more lucrative extension.

This wasn’t one of those times, but Lawrence is viewing this new move to Cincinnati as a fresh start that has him more motivated than ever.

“They wanted me here and they appreciate the work that I’ve put in over the last seven seasons,” Lawrence told Bengals radio play-by-play announcer Dan Hoard, which was published on the official team YouTube channel. “I appreciate that and I’m going to do everything I can to show them that they didn’t waste [a top 10 pick]. I’m excited. I’ve got a fire in me that I’ve never had before, so I’m excited. I’m excited to be a Bengal.”

It was also about money at the end of the day, with the Bengals dishing out a one-year, $28 million extension, which keeps him with the team through the 2028 season for a total of three years and $70 million. He still had $42 million remaining on his previous deal with the Giants.

Lawrence added that his offseason drama in New York was a “long process,” but he felt relief and excitement when the deal was finally made between the teams.

“God got me through it, and right now, I’m ready to let my light shine and go win some games.”

As Lawrence mentioned, he’s hoping not to be a disappointment in his new city considering the amount paid by the Bengals to acquire him. But the 340-pound defensive tackle has been quite the problem for opposing offensive lines, collecting 30.5 sacks, 15 pass breakups, and 341 combined tackles (40 for loss) in 109 career games with the Giants.

Last season also marked the first time Lawrence played all 17 games of his career since they implemented the extra regular-season contest in 2021.

“I know people are going to say [there’s] pressure, but I embrace it,” Lawrence said. “I bring it in. It doesn’t affect me, the pressure. I just know who I am and I’m going to stay true to that. I’m going to be the guy to help this defense go to the next level.”

As Lawrence looks ahead to new beginnings, the Giants, armed with two picks in the top 10 of the first-round of this year’s draft — they also have No. 5 — Harbaugh and the rest of the team will look to hit big with these key rookie additions.

The Giants have made the playoffs just twice since the 2016 season.
