NANTICOKE, LUZERNE COUNTY -- A Luzerne County man, accused of beating his pregnant girlfriend, was arrested again. This time it was for burglary charges.

Floyd Powell denied attacking his girlfriend. Powell insists he is an innocent man. The police say, not only did he attack his pregnant girlfriend, he broke into homes in Nanticoke.

Floyd Powell was brought to district court Tuesday, and for the first time spoke out about the trouble he is in. ÒI'm innocentÉ she's lying,Ó he said.

Investigators say Powell punched his pregnant live-in girlfriend in the stomach at the home they shared in Nanticoke. While investigating that crime, police found evidence that Powell was involved in at least four burglaries in that same neighborhood.

One of his alleged victims was his landlord. Trevor Gerhard said, "All these people he stole fromÉ are hard working people. He showed no remorse."

Police are looking for Powells alleged accomplice, Jesse James Hartman. He is considered dangerous. If you have seen him call 9-1-1.

Powell will face trial in both cases later this year. He remains locked up for now.
