Local man headed to court for alleged attack
A Masontown man accused of attacking his girlfriend and threatening to kill her early Saturday in Uniontown will have his day in court. Uniontown police Officer Travis Shandor said Mylan Harris, 33, of 67 Fort Mason Village was charged before Magisterial District Judge Randy S. Abraham with terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, harassment and disorderly conduct following the incident.
During a preliminary hearing Tuesday morning before Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros, Harris waived all charges against him to Fayette County Court.
The incident occurred at 2:26 a.m. at the home of Heather Wilson, 32, of 15 Woodlawn Ave., Shandor said.
He said that while at Wilson’s home, Harris grabbed her by the hair and pushed her against the wall.
Shandor said that while she was pinned against the wall, Harris threatened to kill her multiple times, repeatedly struck her in the face with an open hand and pushed her to the floor at least three times.
Wilson told police that her son was able to pull Harris from her and she then fled the home and called police, Shandor said.
Harris remains in the Fayette County Prison on $25,000 straight cash bond.
