A North Buffalo Township woman had nowhere to go once police arrived at her front door - no matter how much she tried.
Tamara Denton, 29, is back in the Armstrong County Jail after police successfully served a bench warrant on her two weeks ago.
The bench warrant was issued by Armstrong County Probation last month. North Buffalo Township Police and Armstrong County Sheriff’s Department officers went to a known address along Bunker Hill Road the afternoon of January 21.
According to the court affidavit, police asked Denton’s father, Robert, if she was available, but he said she was not in the single-wide trailer.
Unbeknownst to Robert, deputies outside the front entrance heard someone running through the house and falling through the floor. It was then that they also noticed Tamara fall feet-first through the trailer.
Tamara was apprehended by deputies after she reported she was stuck between the floor and a cinderblock
Tamara – who earlier this year already faced criminal charges for allegedly driving with a suspended or revoked license the day before Christmas Eve – is now also charged with one count of misdemeanor flight to avoid apprehension.
Robert, 63, was also charged due to the incident – with two misdemeanor counts of hindering apprehension
A preliminary hearing for both Tamara and Robert will be held the morning of March 8 before District Magisterial Judge Gary DeComo in Ford City.
