Police beat Sept. 26
CANONSBURG
Shot fired into home: Elizabeth Spotti, 43, of Canonsburg, was charged Tuesday by Canonsburg police with discharge of a firearm into an occupied structure, reckless endangerment and criminal mischief. According to the criminal complaint, police were called to Spotti’s home in the 1300 block of Lucia Drive at about 3:50 a.m. Sept. 6 after she allegedly fired a gun in the air. While Spotti was initially only charged with a misdemeanor of recklessly endangering another person, police later found a bullet lodged into a pillar on the front porch of a neighboring home. At Spotti’s scheduled preliminary hearing Tuesday morning, police withdrew the initial case and filed a new set of charges, including a felony of discharging a firearm into an occupied structure. District Judge James Saieva held the charges for court. Spotti is free on $25,000 unsecured bond.
