Man Pulls Gun on Customer at Gas Station
Barkeyville – A Westmoreland County man was denied bail in Venango County after allegedly pulling a gun on another patron at a gas station on May 8th.

The victim fled the scene and Kohlman traveled to Sheetz in Grove City, where he was apprehended by police and charged with aggravated assault and other crimes.

DA says Police Shooting Justified
North Siwickly – The Beaver County District Attorney has determined that the April 4th shooting of DeShawn Leeth by Pennsylvania State Troopers near North Siwickly was justified. Leeth was shot and killed by officers after he crashed his car and started a bizarre altercation with an Ohio State Trooper before stealing a police cruiser and leading police on a chase across state lines, crashing that cruiser, and attacking police officers a second time.
It is unclear why Leeth was acting so aggressively. After a troubled childhood, Leeth had spent his adulthood as a community organizer and youth mentor, counseling boys not to make the same mistakes that he did.
