CLARION CO., Pa. (EYT) — A Clarion man was held for court on Tuesday on criminal charges for allegedly punching a woman in the face.

Court documents indicate the following charges against 28-year-old Adam Christopher Graham were held for court on April 13:

The charges have been transferred to the Clarion County Court of Common Pleas.

Graham remains free on $5,000.00 unsecured bail.

A formal arraignment is scheduled for 9:00 a.m. on June 9 with Judge Sara J. Seidle-Patton presiding.

Details of the case:

Officer Kemmer, of the Clarion Borough Police Department, was dispatched around 9:35 a.m. on October 9, 2020, to a residence on Main Street for a report of a domestic incident, according to a criminal complaint.

At the scene, a known female victim reported that Adam Christopher Graham punched her in the face when she couldn’t find his phone for him. It was noted that the victim had blood coming from her mouth and redness and bruising around her lip, and she stated Graham caused the injuries, the complaint indicates.

Officer Kemmer then went to a location on Merle Road, where the victim said Graham was going.

When Officer Kemmer spoke to Graham, he denied striking the victim and said that the victim was “making this incident up to get him in trouble,” according to the complaint.

Graham was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Duane L. Quinn at 11:10 a.m. on October 9.
