A Bradford man who appeared for a preliminary hearing Wednesday on assault allegations had an additional charge of criminal mischief, a third-degree felony, added to his case.
Jordan J. Evan, 33, had all charges, including the new charge, bound to court at the hearing, which was held before District Judge Richard Luther. Other charges in the case are aggravated assault, a first-degree felony; simple assault, a second-degree misdemeanor; and summary harassment, court records indicate.
According to the criminal complaint, on Nov. 1, Bradford Township Police were notified of a domestic assault at a Gilbert Lane residence. The victim had left the residence and was at a neighbor’s awaiting police. She was found to be bleeding and had multiple injuries, police stated.
The female said Evan struck her several times with his fist, and had assaulted a second person at the residence as well, the complaint read. Police stated that the victim had to be transported to another medical facility due to the extent of her facial injuries, the complaint alleged.
Evan remains in McKean County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bail.
