From Mirror staff reports
Two people were taken into custody at a Bedford County campground after a report of a man with a firearm led police to discover a magic mushroom growing operation.
Bedford resident Raymond Foreman Jr., 37, was arraigned Saturday by Magisterial District Judge Kevin Diehl on single felony counts of making terroristic threats and possession with intent to deliver, as well as possession of drug paraphernalia and hindering apprehension of another. Unable to post $250,000 bail, he was remanded to the Bedford County Correctional Facility.
Roaring Spring resident Rebecca Jane Baker, 34, was arraigned Monday by Diehl on one felony count of possession with intent to deliver and one misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia. In a separate but related case, Baker was arraigned on one misdemeanor count of flight to avoid apprehension. In lieu of her respective $200,000 and $10,000 bails, Baker was remanded to the Bedford County Correctional Facility.
Officers with state police at Bedford were dispatched to a campsite along the 7900 block of Bedford Valley Road in Cumberland Valley Township, Bedford County, about 6:27 p.m. Friday for a report of a disturbance. While en route, officers were informed the suspect, later identified as Foreman, was brandishing a firearm, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Officers found Foreman with a zip-top bag of suspected psilocybin mushrooms protruding from his front pants pocket. Officers took Foreman into custody and asked him where the firearm was, to which Foreman said he did not own and wasn’t allowed to possess a firearm, court documents state.
Foreman told officers he was arguing with an individual about having his water shut off. He said no one was inside the camper and he had been arguing with his girlfriend over the phone, the police report states.
According to the affidavit, officers believed the other involved individual, identified as Baker, was inside the camper earlier in the day but left prior to their arrival due to her active arrest warrants out of Blair County. When asked where Baker was, Foreman declined to give accurate information regarding her whereabouts, other than she left a while ago.
After obtaining a search warrant for the camper, officers found Baker hiding under a bed that flips up into a storage compartment. Baker was then taken into custody, court documents state.
In an interview, the victim told officers he was at Foreman’s residence to shut off his water when Foreman told him “if you shut off my water, I am going to kill you.” The victim said Foreman opened the door far enough for them to see his face and a small, black pistol. The victim told officers that Foreman said he would shoot everyone if anything were to happen, according to the police record.
A second search warrant for the camper’s contents yielded psilocybin mushrooms that were packaged and prepared for delivery inside a black backpack, packaging material, scales and a grow of psilocybin mushrooms. In an interview, Baker said the black backpack and plastic totes were hers. When officers questioned Baker about the cultivation items inside the residence, Baker asked if they meant the mushrooms and said she knew about them.
Foreman and Baker are scheduled for separate preliminary hearings in front of Diehl on Feb. 5.
