(MCKEAN COUNTY, Pennsylvania; January 18, 2024):  District Attorney Stephanie Vettenburg-Shaffer reports that, following a two-day jury trial at the McKean County Courthouse, Andrew Baker, of Eldred, was convicted of Aggravated Assault with a  Deadly Weapon, Strangulation, Simple Assault and harassment. 

He was found not guilty of an additional count of simple assault and terroristic threats. Testimony at the trial included that of a man and woman from Eldred who testified that Baker had been in a romantic relationship with the woman at the time of the crime.  On June 17, 2023, he came to the woman’s house and assaulted the man with a glass device by smashing the device over the man’s head, causing it to shatter.  Baker then put the man in a chokehold until he fell unconscious.  After the man came to, he realized he was bleeding profusely from his back and realized that the defendant had stabbed him with a shard of glass that was on the floor from the glass device that had shattered.
