Police: Man pursued wife in vehicle, spins car in Frackville
FRACKVILLE – A Mahanoy Plane man is in Schuylkill County Prison, accused of following his wife from Shenandoah to Frackville, rear-ending her car multiple times and causing her to spin out.
Dayshawn Harris, 39, of 114 Hickey Street, is accused of simple assault and reckless endangerment for the incident early Sunday.
In the criminal complaint filed by Shenandoah Police Patrolman Hugh Clinton, borough police were requested to Frackville around 12:15am Sunday.
Frackville Police requested them for a rolling domestic which started in town, with one man, Harris, in custody.
Harris’ wife told police that they were in Shenandoah earlier. Another man, Clinton recalled her saying, had entered and exited her vehicle and when she began to drive away, the vehicle behind her honked its horn.
That vehicle then began to follow her and rear-ended her. She placed her vehicle in reverse to activate the backup camera, recognizing the following vehicle as Harris’
She made several right turns, with Harris behind the entire time, before he struck her vehicle a second time.
The woman then turned onto Main Street and headed south to Frackville, where she attempted to make a right turn. Harris struck her vehicle again, sending it into a spin and, when she tried to back up and flee, Harris backed into her vehicle.
The woman managed to call police at that point, and Frackville Police arrived and arrested Harris.
Harris was arraigned Sunday by Magisterial District Judge Edward Tarantelli and committed to Schuylkill County Prison, unable to post $15,000 cash bail.
A preliminary hearing is set for Feb. 22 at Magisterial District Judge Anthony Kilker’s Shenandoah courtroom.
