District Attorney Stephanie L. Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that Armando Aponte, of Bradford, was sentenced to a period of incarceration for Aggravated Assault and Terroristic Threats against a woman during a sentencing hearing held today at the McKean County Courthouse.

On January 25, 2022, Bradford City Police were dispatched to the Bradford Regional Medical Center for a report of an assault on a female.  The injuries to the woman required she be sent to an out-of-area medical center for treatment.  Aponte was identified as the perpetrator.

Bradford Officer Kolin Strawcutter investigated the case. 

The Judge sentenced Aponte to state prison for a period of 90 months to 180 months and 2 years consecutive probation as well as necessary treatment, restitution for medical expenses due to the assault, and other terms. 

Victims of domestic violence are encouraged to call 911 and the YWCA, who can provide services to victims.
