According to a criminal complaint filed by Patrolman Byham, officers responded to 122 Cowell Avenue around 12:23 a.m. September 20 for a report of a domestic assault.
Police arrived on scene and found a male victim with a small laceration to his temple.
Officers interviewed a female witness at the residence who stated that her brother, Andrew Shawgo, struck the man on the head with a cane.
Shawgo’s mother and the victim stated that Shawgo was “acting strange and became very angry with them.”
The complaint states that Shawgo allegedly smashed a mirror with a cane and then struck the man with the cane while the man was lying in bed.
When Shawgo was taken into custody, police discovered a small bag of marijuana in his pocket and a blue pipe containing suspected marijuana residue in his backpack.
Shawgo waived his right to a preliminary hearing Wednesday in Venango County Central Court.
Online court documents indicate that Shawgo remains lodged in the Venango County Jail on $25,000.00 cash bail.
