A volunteer was assaulted at Kernsville Dam Recreation Area in Tilden Township on Sept. 2.
Blake Druzba, 26, of Hamburg, has been charged with simple assault, terroristic threats, false imprisonment, disorderly conduct, harassment and reckless driving as a result of an incident that occurred at 7:30 a.m. on Sept. 2.
According to State Police Hamburg, a Kersnville Dam Recreation Area volunteer observed Druzba driving a 1993 Susuki Sidekick at an excessive speed through a pedestrian crossing and doing donuts in a parking area. The volunteer confronted Druzba, asking him to stop his behavior.
Druzba, age 26, 6 feet three inches tall and weighing 260 pounds, got out of his vehicle and proceeded to physically assault the smaller 57-year-old volunteer by pushing him to the ground, putting him in a rear choke hold while punching him in the face. Druzba released his hold on the volunteer, did a mule kick to the victim’s groin and left the scene.
The victim received minor injuries to his face and knees as a result of the assault.
