State police responding to Fawn burglary taser, arrest man
State police said they used a Taser gun to subdue a man suspected of burglarizing a Fawn home last week.
Justin Donald Ohler, 31, of Natrona Heights, faces charges of trespassing, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct following the incident around 7:30 a.m. Wednesday.
State police said troopers went to a Matthews Lane home in response to a reported burglary and identified Ohler upon arrival.
Ohler ignored offiers’ commands and was shot with a Taser gun before being arrested, police said.
Ohler was arraigned Thursday and released from Allegheny County Jail a day later after positing $10,000 bond, court records show. He is awaiting a preliminary hearing.
