BUTLER, Pa.,None — Butler police have issued an arrest warrant for a woman they said attacked her roommate, who happened to be her ex-boyfriend, threatened to kill him and forced sleeping pills down his throat on Saturday.

Beachem faces charges of aggravated assault, simple assault, unlawful restraint and terroristic threats. Anyone with information about her whereabouts is asked to contact police.
