Uniontown man accused of aggravated assault
A Uniontown man was arrested for aggravated assault, accused of attacking his girlfriend at a residence in North Union Township Wednesday night.
Pennsylvania State Police troopers took Francis Seper, 36, into custody shortly after arriving at a home at 290 Main St., where they received a call of a domestic disturbance at 11:21 p.m.
Seper’s girlfriend, Precious Susa, told police he had thrown her to the ground as she was holding their infant son, then punched and kicked her.
Susa suffered bruising and swelling across her face, a right eye swollen shut, a suspected broken nose and a laceration on her right ear, according to Seper’s criminal complaint. Police also noted Susa had redness on her neck, where Susa said Seper had choked her.
Red marks were also found on their infant child’s chest and stomach, according to court documents.
Emergency responders transported Susa to WVU Medicine — Uniontown Hospital, where she was receiving medical care for injuries sustained in the assault, the complaint said.
Seper is charged with aggravated assault, strangulation, endangering welfare of children and simple assault.
Judge Nathan Henning denied Seper bail for posing a threat to himself and others.
Seper’s preliminary hearing is scheduled for Nov. 23.
