All charges dismissed against South Union couple
All charges were dismissed this afternoon against a South Union Township man accused of armed robbery. Charges were also dismissed against his girlfriend who was accused of intimidating the alleged victim in the incident.
Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros dismissed all charges against Alfonso Pugh, 23, and Susan Eileen Heilman, 41, both of 510 Thomas St. after Darren Lee, 44, of Uniontown testified Pugh was not the man who robbed him Aug. 17.
City police Officer Ray Miller charged Pugh last week with two counts of robbery, aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person based on information received from Lee and witness Denise Fitzgerald, also of Uniontown. Fitzgerald did not appear in court today, despite being subpoenaed to do so.
