STRUTHERS

Police arrested a Struthers man Monday on a misdemeanor charge of criminal damaging and endangering after receiving multiple calls about a man smashing out the window of a car. Officers arrived on the scene and met Michael Terlecky, 21 at his Creed Street apartment. Terlecky told police he had followed his girlfriend outside with a baseball bat after an argument, according to a police report. The 21-year old woman told police that Terlecky had smashed out a window of her car. The woman also told police that Terlecky had choked her and slapped her in the face, the report states. Terlecky was booked and then released on a $100 bond. He will be arraigned Wednesday in Struthers Municipal Court.
