GREENSBURG, Pa. — A Saltsburg man was convicted of assaulting police officers on Friday.
Ray Shetler Jr. was charged in December 2021 after fighting with officers when they tried to arrest him for failing to appear at a probation hearing.
A team of officers from the Westmoreland County Sheriff’s Office and state troopers executed the warrant.
When they arrived to arrest him, Shetler was found concealing himself from officers and did not comply with their commands. He also became combative and injured an officer on scene.
