Peters Township man turns self in after SWAT incident
A Peters Township man turned himself into police after a SWAT team was called to his home Tuesday for a domestic violence incident.
Brandon Patrick Osborne, 31, was arraigned at 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning in front of District Judge Phillippe Melograne, according to court records. Melograne sent him to the Washington County jail on $150,000 bond.
Tuesday morning, Osborne’s girlfriend reported to police that Osborne had assaulted her and had weapons in his home in the 400 block of Carriage Hill.
A SWAT team responded to the house, but police learned that Osborne had fled before their arrival. Peters Township Police Chief Douglas Grimes said they were able to contact him and learn his location.
According to Grimes, police found a shotgun and handgun in the home.
Osborne faces a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor of simple assault. He is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing at 2:30 p.m. Dec. 6.
