BEAVER TWP., Pa. (EYT) — Charges have been filed against a Knox man who reportedly threatened a woman, her family members, and her coworker.
Court documents indicate the Clarion-based State Police filed criminal charges against 47-year-old Shawn Michael Reedy.
According to a criminal complaint, around 1:35 p.m. on Monday, August 24, Clarion-based State Police initiated an investigation into a report of a domestic incident in Beaver Township, Clarion County.
A known female victim had reportedly been receiving “non-stop calls, voicemails, and texts” from Shawn Michael Reedy stating she “needs to answer him” and threatening to harm and kill her and her family, the complaint states.
