A man from Butler County will be in Indiana County Court today for a plea court hearing concerning an assault case from last June.
29-year-old Thomas Anderson, Jr. will enter pleas to charges of aggravated assault-attempt to cause bodily injury, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct-engaging in fighting and public drunkenness. Police say on June 16th of last year, Anderson was outside his apartment shouting at neighbors in a hostile manner. When police arrived to take him into custody, he allegedly kicked a patrol supervisor in the head and face area, and also thrashed violently to resist arrest. He also allegedly kicked a patrol car during his arrest. At the time, police said he was under the influence of alcohol and depression medications.
Anderson’s hearing is part of a busy day at the Indiana County Court system, with several preliminary hearings and summary trials set for today, along with multiple arraignment hearings.
