An Evans City man is facing charges following an incident in Forward Township earlier this week.
According to State Police, 45-year-old Aaron Baysek was taken into custody following an investigation into a dog found deceased with a laceration to the throat.
Officers responded to a report of a male armed with a blade acting erratically in the 200 block of Wilson Avenue just after 9 p.m. Wednesday.
Two unnamed victims reported that Baysek threatened to harm them so they left their residence until police arrived and that is when their dog was found. Baysek has been charged with Aggravated Assault.
