Uniontown police said they have secured a warrant for the arrest of a Lemont Furnace man after he allegedly assaulted a Uniontown woman Feb. 4.
Officer D.J. DeWitt said Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros issued a warrant for the arrest of Robert L. Daugherty Jr., 45, for a single count of indecent assault.
According to DeWitt, the incident occurred shortly before 9 p.m. when officers were dispatched to a residence in Uniontown for a reported assault.
DeWitt said that the alleged victim told police that she was laying on her mother’s bed playing a video game when Daugherty entered the room and touched her inappropriately.
The woman told investigators that she immediately got up and left the room, told her mother and then telephoned officials at 911.
She said that Daugherty then left the residence on foot, DeWitt said.
