A New Castle man wanted in an assault-turned-shooting in Penn Township last fall was arrested Tuesday night in Butler.

City police nabbed 41-year-old Marc A. Latimore without incident at a crowded house in the 200 block of Cleveland Street.

An anonymous call led officers to the home about 10:30 p.m., said Butler police Capt. James Hollobaugh.

Latimore was arraigned Wednesday morning on felony assault and other charges, and is being held in the Butler County Prison on $100,000 bail.

The defendant had been the subject of an arrest warrant since an altercation Nov. 12 at a rental house on Winters Road in Penn Township.

The alleged victim, a 37-year-old pregnant Slippery Rock woman, told Penn Township police that her mother had driven her to the house at about 1:20 a.m. where as many as 10 other people, including Latimore, were attending a party.

The woman knew the tenant, Jessica Erdos, 41, but she did not know Latimore.

At some point, according to court documents, Latimore allegedly struck the woman and knocked her to the floor. The victim left the house and headed back to her mother's car at the end of the driveway.

The woman recounted that she heard three gunshots that she believed were “near” her, police said.

“The victim reports that she looked back,” documents said, “and could see the male with the gun as the same male who assaulted her in the residence.”

Investigators said other witnesses corroborated the woman's account of gunshots. No one was struck by the gunfire.

The victim made it back to her mother's car and the women drove to Route 8, where they flagged down a police officer.

Latimore fled and eluded arrest until Tuesday night, Hollobaugh said, when an anonymous caller reported his whereabouts.

Hollobaugh checked with Penn Township police to verify the warrant before city officers, assisted by Butler Township police, went to the house on Cleveland Street.

Police knocked on the door and were met by a woman who lives there. Hollobaugh said there were about seven people inside.

“They all kind of scattered,” Hollobaugh said. “It was a little chaotic.”

Latimore initially tried to run out the back door, but then attempted to hide around a corner. He was caught and handcuffed.

Latimore was taken to the city police station, where Penn Township police interviewed him for about 15 minutes.

District Judge William Fullerton eventually arraigned Latimore on a felony charge of aggravated assault and misdemeanor charges of simple assault, reckless endangerment and terroristic threats.

Following the shooting, Penn Township police got a search warrant for the house and found a .40-caliber pistol, which had a loaded magazine in it.

A check of the National Crime Information Center database showed the gun had been reported stolen in 2014. The firearm, police said, was taken from a vehicle in North Fayette, Allegheny County.

Police did not say if that was the gun used in the suspected shooting.

The home search, documents said, also turned up a digital scale, drug packaging materials and drug-smoking pipes.

Police that same night arrested Erdos since she lives at the house where the gun and contraband were found.

She is charged with a felony count of receiving stolen property and a misdemeanor count of possession of drug paraphernalia.

Erdos remains free on $5,000 bail while her case is pending in Butler County Court.
