LEWISTOWN, Pa. — A Mifflin County man has been arrested after police say he broke into a pair of Derry Township businesses on Tuesday morning.

Eric J. Tenalio, 41, of Lewistown, is charged with two felony counts of criminal trespass and two summary counts of criminal mischief, according to Mifflin County Regional Police.

Tenalio is accused of breaking into Red's Diner at 2 a.m. and Moove In Self Storage at 3:29 a.m. Both businesses are located along Business 22 in Derry Township, police said.
