A Pennsylvania resident found himself in court on Friday, facing allegations of pilfering over 100 sets of human remains from a notable cemetery. During the hearing, he chose to forgo his right to an evidentiary session.

The accused, Jonathan Gerlach, 34, made his court appearance in Delaware County dressed in a bright lime green prison uniform. With a clean-shaven face and hair pulled into a bun, he presented a stark contrast to his earlier booking photograph. He reportedly spoke minimally throughout the short court session, as noted by FOX 29 Philadelphia.

Gerlach is confronted with a staggering array of nearly 500 charges, which encompass burglary, mistreatment of a corpse, and the desecration of monuments. These charges stem from an unsettling investigation at Mount Moriah Cemetery, located near Philadelphia.

In the course of Friday’s legal proceedings, prosecutors opted to dismiss two burglary charges, while simultaneously introducing new allegations related to supposed break-ins at cemeteries in Lancaster and Luzerne counties, as reported by FOX 29.

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.

Kim Kardashian appeared utterly enchanted as she stepped out with her new romantic interest, Lewis Hamilton, for a Saturday evening dinner at Nobu, Malibu. The couple, who first sparked dating rumors earlier this year, enjoyed a leisurely two-hour meal at the renowned oceanfront eatery.

Lewis Hamilton, the 41-year-old celebrated Formula 1 driver from Hertfordshire, England, was noted by onlookers for his impeccable manners and considerate demeanor toward Kardashian during their outing.

Embodying stylish sophistication, the duo turned heads at the celebrity-favored venue. Kardashian embraced the vibrant hues of spring, donning a Begonia pink zip-up top paired with a floor-length beige skirt, perfectly suited for the balmy April evening.

The 45-year-old SKIMS mogul and her new beau seemed to enjoy their time together at the picturesque seaside location, further fueling interest in their budding romance.

Kardashian wore bright spring colors on the April evening, combining a Begonia pink zip-up top with a floor length beige skirt. 

The reality star, who has been in litigation as of late on multiple fronts, wore sandals as she had her dark locks down and parted.

Kardashian had a massive smile on her face as she cuddled up to the sports star 

Hamilton donned a gray bomber jacket with pointed collar, button closure, and ribbed cuffs, with dark gray slacks and black shoes. 

Hamilton, who has past been linked with stars such as Nicole Scherzinger and  Rihanna, wore multiple necklaces and a pair of eyeglasses. 

The celeb couple was seen driving in style, as Hamilton and Kardashian traveled to Nobu in a 2026 Mercedes-Maybach S 680 V12 Virgil Abloh.

Kardashian is mother to North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, nine, and Psalm, six, with ex-husband Kanye West, 48.

She has been supported by her relatives in her new romantic endeavors with Hamilton, as her ‘family likes him,’ an insider told People. 

Kardashian’s new beau was described to the magazine as ‘an easygoing guy with great energy.’

Previously, the couple was spotted sweetly linking arms as they arrived for Justin Bieber’s Coachella set on April 11. 

Kardashian on her main Instagram page last Thursday, shared a series of photos from her time at the music festival earlier this month, as she gave her followers a closer look at how she spent her time at the trendy Southern California gathering. 

In one image, Kardashian could be seen sitting on Hamilton’s lap as they rode in a golf cart through the crowded grounds. She donned a plunging black bodysuit as well as black leather pants and partially covered her face with a black bandana.

Hamilton was seen approaching the passenger side door to open it for Kardashian 

The F1 racer’s arm could be seen gently wrapping around her waist and resting on her right thigh – although he was mostly concealed in the picture. 

In other snaps included in the Instagram carousel, the mom-of-four further flaunted her edgy Coachella look. 

She accessorized the outfit with flashy silver necklaces, with one containing a large cross-shaped pendant on the front. 

Some photos showed the reality star getting ready before heading out to catch Bieber’s set with Hamilton.  

Kardashian was also pictured arriving to the festival alongside some of her close friends. 

At one point, she crossed paths with actress Teyana Taylor and the pair shared a friendly side embrace.

Both stars recently worked together on the Ryan Murphy series All’s Fair – which has since been renewed for a second season. 

The TV personality also had the chance to show off her skills in the kitchen by making a batch of Rice Krispie treats for her pals.

While still sporting her fashionable look for the festival, Kardashian headed into the kitchen to bake the tasty dessert. 

One image showed her flashing a smile while mixing ingredients as a box of Rice Krispies cereal was next to her.

She was also seen pouring the mixture into a pan before baking the sugary treat. 

Another image was taken as Kardashian quickly tasted the sticky mixture from a spoon in her hand.

Lastly, the media personality included a black and white photo of Bieber performing on stage.

In the caption of the post, she simply penned to her 352 million followers: ‘Coachella Hallelujah.’

During the music festival earlier this month, Kardashian and Hamilton were spotted strolling near the front of the stage during Bieber’s headlining set.   

The professional racer had worn a black hoodie as well as a pair of tan trousers and a white cap placed on top of his head.

Similar to Kardashian, the star also opted for a black bandana that was partially wrapped around his face. 

While the star’s latest post was the first time Hamilton appeared on her feed, the couple notably went Instagram official earlier this month on the F1 racer’s account. 

He had uploaded a reel that showed Kardashian sitting shotgun as he drove a red Ferrari around the streets of Japan. 

After he flaunted a few driving tricks in the vehicle, the video concluded with a glimpse of Kardashian flashing a big smile in the passenger seat and gushing, ‘That’s sick.’ 

The pair recently spent time together in Tokyo in March ahead of Hamilton taking part in the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix. 

The reality star and professional F1 racer have known each other for many years – but first sparked romance speculation earlier this year.

Back in late January, the stars were seen checking into an upscale hotel in the Cotswolds.

Shortly after, the pair were spotted at another hotel in the city of Paris – before they grabbed dinner together at Aqua Kyoto.

An insider told Entertainment Tonight at the time, ‘Kim and Lewis are spending more time together and seeing where things are going.

‘They’ve been friends and known each other for years but are now exploring a romantic relationship.’

Later that same month, Kardashian and Hamilton sat next to each other while attending Super Bowl LX.

Most recently, the couple were spotted spending time together on Wednesday as they went shopping for luxury rugs in Los Angeles. 

NEW YORK (AP) — Starting Monday, businesses will have access to a refund program for tariffs that the U.S. Supreme Court determined were imposed by former President Donald Trump without proper constitutional authority.

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), importers and their brokers can begin filing for these refunds using an online portal that opens at 8 a.m. The agency is responsible for overseeing this new system.

This marks the initial phase of a complex process that could eventually allow consumers to receive refunds for tariffs they were charged on imported goods.

Businesses are required to submit detailed declarations of the goods for which they collectively paid billions in import taxes that have since been nullified by the court’s decision. Once a claim is approved by CBP, the agency estimates that refunds will be processed within 60 to 90 days.

The government plans to issue these refunds in stages, beginning with the most recent tariff payments. Various technical and procedural hurdles could potentially delay an importer’s claim, meaning any refunds intended for customers will likely be distributed gradually.

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court on Feb. 20 found that Trump usurped Congress’ tax-setting role last April when he set new import tax rates on products from almost every other country, citing the U.S. trade deficit as a national emergency that warranted his invoking of a 1977 emergency powers law.

Although the court majority did not address refunds in its ruling, a judge at the U.S. Court of International Trade determined last month that companies subjected to IEEPA tariffs were entitled to money back.

Not all taxed imports immediately eligible

Customs and Border Protection said in court filings that over 330,000 importers paid a total of about $166 billion on over 53 million shipments.

Not all of those orders qualify for the first phase of the refund system’s rollout, which is limited to cases in which tariffs were estimated but not finalized or within 80 days of a final accounting.

To receive refunds, importers have to register for the CPB’s electronic payment system. As of April 14, 56,497 importers had completed registration and were eligible for refunds totaling $127 billion, including interest, the agency said.

System requires accuracy

Meghann Supino, a partner at Ice Miller, said the law firm has advised clients to carefully list in their declarations all of the document numbers for forms that went to CBP to describe imported goods and their value.

“If there is an entry on that file that does not qualify, it may cause the entire entry to be rejected or that line item might be rejected by Customs,” she said.

Supino thinks the portal going live will require composure as well as diligence.

“Like any electronic online program that goes live with a lot of interest, I would expect that there might be some hiccups with the program on Monday,” she said. “So we continue to ask everyone to be patient, because we think that patience will pay off.”

Nghi Huynh, the partner-in-charge of transfer pricing at accounting and consulting firm Armanino, said most companies claiming refunds will have imported a mix of items, and not all will qualify right away.

“It’s about having a clear process in place and keeping track of what’s been submitted and what’s been paid, so nothing falls through the cracks,” she said. “Each file can include thousands of entries, but accuracy is critical, as submissions can be rejected if formatting or data is incorrect.”

Patience with the process

Small businesses have eagerly awaited the chance to apply for refunds. Brad Jackson, co-founder of After Action Cigars in Rochester, Minnesota, said he starting compiling records and preparing to enter information into the system the minute CPB announced the launch date.

The company imports cigars and accessories from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. Last year, it paid $34,000 in tariffs and absorbed much of the cost instead of raising customer prices, Jackson said.

Last spring, he had a two-week delay in a shipment due to a missing document, so he is being more careful with refund documents, he said.

“My main concern is the turnaround time,” Jackson said. “A refund process that takes several months to complete doesn’t solve the cash flow problem that it is supposed to fix.”

Will consumers see refunds?

Tariffs are paid by importers, and some companies pass on the tax costs to consumers via higher prices.

The system starting up Monday will refund tariffs directly to the businesses that paid them, which are not obligated to share the proceeds with customers. However, class-action lawsuits that aim to force companies, ranging from Costco to Ray-Ban maker Essilor Luxottica, to reimburse shoppers are winding their way through the U.S. legal system.

Individuals may be more likely to receive refunds from delivery companies like FedEx and UPS, which collected tariffs on imports directly from consumers. FedEx has said it would return tariff refunds to customers when it receives them from the CPB.

“Supporting our customers as they navigate regulatory changes remains our top priority,” FedEx said in a statement. “We are working with our customers as CBP begins processing refunds and plan to begin filing claims on April 20.”
