State police have charged a Homer City man with assault for an incident yesterday in White Township.
Troopers say that they were called out at 3:51 PM for a report of an active domestic dispute between a 23-year-old woman and 20-year-old Kurt Harris of Homer City at a residence on Hamilton Street. When police arrived, Harris had already fled the scene on foot. Harris was later apprehended by police. Police said that Harris had allegedly punched the victim several times and caused visible injury to her face.
Harris faces misdemeanor charges of simple assault and resisting arrest, along with summary charges of harassment and disorderly conduct-engaging in fighting. He is now in Indiana County Jail in lieu of $1500 bail, with a preliminary hearing set for January 3rd in front of District Judge Christopher Welch.
