A search is on for an Upper Darby, Pa., woman who allegedly threatened to bite her neighbor’s face off and kill her and her child. An arrest warrant has been issued for Ashley Burch, 28, in connection with the incident that allegedly took place Saturday morning. She is facing charges including terroristic threats, assault and harassment. Burch’s live-in boyfriend, James Himes, is in Delaware County prison after police, serving the warrant on Burch, found him unresponsive after allegedly huffing computer dust cleaner for several days. Police were called to the victim’s home for a domestic dispute at 11:02 a.m. Saturday. The responding officer found Burch and her mother arguing outside of the house. Burch left in her mother’s car, but not before threatening the victim and her daughter. ‘I’m going to bite your face off,’ Burch allegedly yelled to the victim as she was driven off in her mother’s car. The victim told police Burch had harassed her on a regular basis. She was visibly shaken and said she feared for her safety and the safety of her daughter. An arrest warrant for Burch was obtained, but when police went to her home to serve her with the warrant they didn’t find her. Instead they looked through a window and saw Himes unresponsive on the couch with a can of computer cleaner in his hand, according to the affidavit of probable cause for his arrest. Despite numerous attempts to awaken Himes, he remained unresponsive, police said. To ensure his safety, police entered the house. Himes allegedly sat up and threw the can of cleaner across the room. Himes allegedly was incoherent and admitted to huffing the computer dust cleaner for several days straight, according to the affidavit. While checking the residence, police found that a burner on the stove had been left on, near several other cans of computer dust cleaner, creating a hazard. He was taken into custody on charges including recklessly endangerment. Bail was set at 10 percent of $10,000.
