A Pennsylvania man took his ghoulish activities to the extreme, stealing more than 100 skeletal remains from gravesites and squirreling away most of them inside his home, according to prosecutors.

Jonathan Gerlach was arrested Tuesday after cops say they executed a search warrant at his home in Ephrata, PA, and discovered 100 sets of full or partial human remains in his basement.

Delaware County District Attorney Tanner Rouse slapped Gerlach with a slew of charges, including criminal mischief, criminal trespass, intentional desecration of public monument and abuse of corpse.

Rouse told TMZ ... the abuse of corpse charge does not refer to necrophilia (sex with a dead body). Instead, Rouse said, the skeletal remains were considered abused because they were in tatters along with more than 100 skulls found inside Gerlach’s house and a separate storage facility.

4:58 PM PT -- The Department of Homeland Security says Border Patrol agents were conducting a traffic stop targeting an alleged "Venezuelan illegal alien affiliated with the transnational Tren de Aragua prostitution ring."

DHS says when CBP agents identified themselves to the people in the car, the driver, who the feds allege is a Tren de Aragua gang member, "weaponized his vehicle and attempted to run over the law enforcement agents."

The feds say the agent "fired a defensive shot" out of fear for his life and safety ... and the driver fled the scene with his passenger.

DHS also says the alleged gang member here was recently involved in a shooting in Portland.

Another shooting involving federal immigration agents and civilians ... and this time the feds shot two people in Oregon.
