Nafis Lamont Donte Fisher, 34, entered an open guilty plea before Common Pleas Judge Wallace H. Bateman Jr. and was sentenced to 4 1/2 to 10 years in state prison, followed by a consecutive five years of probation, the Bucks County District Attorney's Office said.

According to Upper Southampton Police, a woman woke up to find Fisher restraining her on her bed. Her screams caused him to release her and run from the room.

He then encountered and briefly grappled with the victim's mother before fleeing through the kitchen, basement and attached garage, authorities said.
Authorities later found a large kitchen knife on the victim's bed and a 12-foot extension cord on the floor beside it, police said.
Authorities said Fisher left in a black sedan after taking the victim's AirPods, identification, credit and debit cards, and a U.S. passport.
Police tracked Fisher by using the “FindMy” feature tied to the stolen AirPods.
The signal led officers from Upper Southampton along the Pennsylvania Turnpike and into Delaware County before stopping near Aramingo Avenue and E. Somerset Street in Philadelphia. Working with Philadelphia police, officers found Fisher inside a black 2014 Kia Forte, and an Upper Southampton officer remotely activated the AirPods, which sounded from inside the car.
During sentencing, First Assistant District Attorney Kristin McElroy described the crime as “the most frightening kind of burglary.”
The victim's mother read impact statements for herself and her daughter in court. Her daughter wrote that she now lives with “a constant sense of fear whenever I'm alone at night,” and that ordinary night noises now “trigger a full-blown panic.”
The mother said she continues to deal with fear, severe anxiety and chronically disturbed sleep after confronting the intruder in her home.
