Man accused of beating another man in altercation possibly over woman
BUFFALO TWP — A dispute over a woman may have been the motive for a beating Monday evening at Jack's Trailer Park that left one man behind bars and another in need of hospital treatment, authorities said.
The defendant, Michael R. John, 26, of Buffalo Township, was arrested for the alleged assault about 6:30 p.m., but not before he allegedly resisted troopers' attempts to take him into custody.
He was placed in the Butler County Prison on $10,000 bail following arraignment.
Police said they were called to Butler Memorial Hospital, where they found the 24-year-old victim, of Pittsburgh, being treated for head injuries. A trooper described the injuries as “severe facial swelling.”
