A Mercer County man is facing charges after he allegedly assaulted another man late last week in nearby Mercer County.
According to State Police, an unidentified 64-year-old Sandy Lake man, who is also a township supervisor, began working on a culvert on Park Road in Sandy Lake Township around 6 p.m. on Friday (July 8th).
Authorities say 62-year-old Donald Rager of Stoneboro, a homeowner who lives near the culvert, allegedly questioned the township supervisor about the project shortly after the work started.
Officials say that a verbal altercation began and Rager allegedly struck the unidentified man in the face.
Authorities say that while their investigation into the case continues, they have charged Rager with Simple Assault and Harassment.
