Police say shots fired at vehicle

Multiple charges filed against man

NORTH BUFFALO TWP, Armstrong County — A township man allegedly shot at an occupied Jeep Wrangler parked outside a church early Tuesday morning following a domestic dispute.

Anthony Parrotta, 23, is facing aggravated assault charges after he allegedly fired three shots at the Jeep in the Union Baptist Church parking lot about 4:40 a.m., striking the vehicle twice. No one was injured during the shooting, state police said.

Parrotta was in a domestic dispute with a 25-year-old woman earlier that morning at their home in the township, police said. The woman suffered a minor laceration on her face during the incident and left the home.

The woman’s brother, Blake Crissman, 23, of Kittanning, later went to meet Parrotta in the parking lot of the church on the 400-block of Church Road.

When Parrotta arrived at the scene, he allegedly fired three shots from a large caliber pistol at Crissman’s vehicle.

Parrotta was arrested later that morning at his home without incident, police said. He was taken to the Armstrong County Jail on $20,000 bail.

Parrotta was charged with aggravated assault, carrying a firearm without a license, shooting at an occupied vehicle, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and criminal mischief.
