A man will spend the next several years in prison after a Pennsylvania woman woke to find him restraining her in her bed, leaving behind a large kitchen knife and an extension cord when her screams scared him off.
The Bucks County District Attorney’s Office announced on Monday, June 1, that Bucks County Common Pleas Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. sentenced Nafis Lamont Donte Fisher to serve four and a half to 10 years in state prison, which will be followed by a consecutive five years of probation.
Fisher, 34, was sentenced after he pleaded guilty to charges including burglary, aggravated assault, robbery, criminal trespassing, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and simple assault.
He was arrested following an incident that took place on October 7, 2025, around 2:47 a.m. At the time, a woman and her adult daughter were at their home in Upper Southampton Township, Pennsylvania, when the daughter “awoke to find Fisher restraining her on her bed,” per the DA’s press release.
“Her screams forced Fisher to release her and flee the room,” the announcement explained. “In the hallway, Fisher encountered and briefly grappled with the victim’s mother before escaping through the kitchen, basement, and attached garage.”
The Upper Southampton Police Department were called and then reported to the scene, where they found “a large kitchen knife left on the victim’s bed and a 12-foot extension cord on the floor beside it.”
Fisher drove away from the home in a black sedan with AirPods, identification, credit and debit cards and a U.S. passport that he stole from the home. Authorities were ultimately able to track him down using the technology connected to the audio device.
“Law enforcement successfully tracked Fisher in real-time by utilizing the ‘FindMy’ feature on the victim’s stolen AirPods,” the DA’s office said. “The tracking signal led officers from Upper Southampton, down the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and through Delaware County before stopping near Aramingo Avenue and E. Somerset Street in Philadelphia.”
Investigators recruited the help of the Philadelphia Police Department to find Fisher, who was found “resting” inside a black 2014 Kia Forte.
“To confirm the suspect’s identity, an Upper Southampton officer remotely activated the AirPods, which emitted an audible tone from inside the vehicle. Fisher was immediately detained and later made substantive admissions to investigators,” the press release stated.
The incident has left a lasting impact on the victims, with Bucks County First Assistant District Attorney Kristin McElroy calling Fisher’s crime “the most frightening kind of burglary.”
The DA’s office said that the adult daughter, 25, said she has “a constant sense of fear whenever I’m alone at night” and normal night noises now trigger her to experience “full-blown panic.”
Meanwhile, the mother has been dealing with lasting fear, severe anxiety and disturbed sleep ever since Fisher broke into their home.
