Several preliminary hearings will be held today in Indiana County Courts, including one for a Clymer man charged with an assault that stems back to an incident in September.
41-year-old Brian John Thacker of Dixonville will go before District Judge Susanne Steffee at 9:30 this morning for a preliminary hearing concerning charges of misdemeanor simple assault and summary criminal mischief and harassment concerning a fight that happened September 21st in Cherryhill Township. Police at the time said that he was involved in an argument with a 41-year-old woman from Clymer and a 45-year-old man from Penn Run when he punched the windshield of a car driven by one of the victims, breaking the glass. Thacker proceeded to the home of the couple on Mountain View Road, and the argument turned violent from there, as Thacker punched one of the victims in the face. He’s been free on $5000 bail since then.
