CLARION, Pa. (EYT) — The first day of the trial of Knox man accused of sexually abusing three children ended on Monday with him being taken from the Clarion County Courthouse by ambulance.
Chad Aaron Renninger, 34, is facing charges of indecent assault with a person less than 13 years of age, indecent assault with a person less than 16 years of age, corruption of minors, and invasion of privacy.
Renninger’s attorney, Blair Hindman, was in the early part of his closing statement to the jury when President Judge John Arner stopped the proceedings, so Renninger could be taken to the hospital for what Judge Arner termed “health issues.”
When Clarion Hospital EMTs took Renninger from the courthouse on a gurney, he wasn’t having any obvious issues, but Hindman alluded to Renninger having panic attacks in the past.
