A 35-year-old Pottsville man charged with an assault involving a weapon on April 8 in the city is among those scheduled to plead not guilty Monday during arraignment in Schuylkill County Court.
Steven E. Hunt Jr., of 322 W. Race St., was arrested by Pottsville Patrolman Renee R. Truscott and charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying firearms without a license, misdemeanor charges of simple assault and disorderly conduct and a summary offense of public drunkenness.
Truscott said Hunt and John Bennett Jr. became involved in a verbal dispute over a female that led to Bennett violently punching Hunt's parked vehicle.
