A man accused of beating two people with a baseball bat at a GetGo in Westmoreland County last week has been arrested, authorities said.
Pennsylvania State Police said troopers were called to the GetGo on Route 22 in Salem Township on Thursday for a reported assault. When they got there, troopers said they found two people on the ground near the gas pumps with injuries.
One of the victims told police that their ex-boyfriend Reno Roberts confronted them at the gas station and punched them before grabbing a baseball bat and hitting them with it. The victims believe Roberts assaulted them because of their new relationship, police said.
Roberts ran from the scene before first responders arrived. Authorities on Monday asked for the public’s help finding him. They later announced that he had been arrested and arraigned. He was denied bail and remanded to the Westmoreland County Prison.
The victims were taken to the hospital to be treated for their injuries. Police didn’t release any details about their conditions.
