A Jefferson Twp. couple face multiple charges after they resisted Pennsylvania State Police responding to their residence for a domestic dispute Monday, according to a criminal complaint.

Lovejit Singh is accused of shoving one of the responding troopers while insisting officers remove Ravneet Kaur, his wife, from their home.

Once troopers got Singh in handcuffs, however, Kaur stepped in and tried to prevent troopers from arresting him.

Singh, 32, faces felony charges of aggravated assault of a police officer. Kaur, 25, is charged with obstructing justice and resisting arrest.

According to a criminal complaint, troopers originally responded to 251 Mountainview Drive at about 10 p.m., where they spoke with Singh and Kaur, who agreed to separate for the night.

Troopers left the residence, but just 12 minutes later they were called back to the scene for the report of a continuing dispute between the couple.

Police again determined the argument was solely verbal and there had been no crime. As they were preparing to leave, Singh became loud and argumentative, insisting troopers remove his wife.

As troopers were speaking with Singh, he raised his arms and insisted they arrest him. He then walked toward Trooper Corey Carr with a raised arm, coming within inches of the law enforcement officer’s face.

Carr pushed Singh back to create distance between them and ordered him to stop.

Singh then lunged toward the trooper, shoving him with both of his arms. Troopers took Singh to the ground and put him in handcuffs, according to the complaint.

Troopers noted that he physically resisted them while being arrested.

As Singh was being escorted to a patrol vehicle, Kaur lunged toward them and grabbed Carr in an effort to interfere with her husband’s arrest.

Troopers ordered Kaur to stop several times, but she continued to try to prevent her husband’s arrest.

Carr then attempted to arrest Kaur, who pulled her arms away from him to avoid being handcuffed. Troopers were ultimately able to take her into custody.

Bail was set at $100,000 for Singh and $5,000 for Kaur; both remain at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of those amounts.

Both have preliminary hearings scheduled for 11 a.m. on Sept. 14  before District Judge Laura Turlip.
