RAYBURN TWP, Armstrong County — A township man is jailed on $100,000 bail after he allegedly fired a shotgun in the direction of a trooper Saturday night, state police said.

Police arrested Thomas Luketic, 58, but not before a brief standoff outside his mobile home on Fox Lane in central Armstrong County.

No injuries were reported in the altercation that began with a 911 hang-up call about 9 p.m. That call apparently was made by Luketic’s wife after she said he threatened her during a domestic dispute, according to a police report.

She later fled the house, leaving Luketic, who had been drinking, alone.

Investigators believe Luketic was waiting for police to arrive. When troopers showed up, he was standing outside holding a shotgun.

He fired a shot in the “general direction” of a trooper who was about 50 yards away. Police did not identify the 34-year-old officer from the Kittanning station.

The trooper took cover behind his cruiser and called for backup.

Additional police got there and surrounded the home. They contacted Luketic by telephone and convinced him to surrender, police said.

Later, police obtained a search warrant and seized several long guns, ammunition and drug paraphernalia from Luketic’s home.

Luketic was arraigned on five counts of aggravated assault, two counts each of simple assault, terroristic threats and disorderly conduct, and a charge of reckless endangerment.

He was placed in the Armstrong County Jail following arraignment.

A preliminary hearing was not immediately scheduled.
