BULLSKIN TOWNSHIP, PA — Tyler Eugene Sanders, 20, of Connellsville, and Michelle Renee Pritts, 39, of Connellsville, are facing charges after a violent incident on Kreinbrook Hill Road left a woman hospitalized and a child injured, according to investigators.
WPXI reported Pennsylvania State Police were called to the 570 block of Kreinbrook Hill Road in Bullskin Township at 11:28 a.m. Thursday for reports that a person had been hit by a vehicle at a house.
Troopers said Sanders intentionally struck a woman with a vehicle during a dispute involving people who knew each other.
The woman was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
Police said Sanders also backed the vehicle into the front door of a home in an attempt to force his way inside. Troopers said the impact caused extensive damage and that the confrontation continued inside the house.
Investigators said a child was injured during the ongoing altercation and also had to be taken to a hospital for treatment.
Sanders was taken to a hospital for his own injuries, troopers said.
Police also said a second man was hurt during the incident but declined transport to a hospital.
According to troopers, Pritts entered the house after police had already secured the scene. Investigators said she was arrested after refusing multiple commands to leave.
Troopers have not said exactly how all of the injuries happened or fully described the relationships among the people involved, but they said charges are being prepared against the parties and the investigation remains active.
Presumption of Innocence: A presumption of innocence means that any defendant in a criminal trial is presumed to be innocent until they have been proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law. The defendant in this case is only accused of the charges set forth in the criminal complaint. They are innocent until proven guilty.
