Two people were arrested on multiple criminal charges by Rostraver police after a verbal altercation that involved a handgun at a man’s mobile home late Monday, according to court documents.
Corey A. Lindauer, 35, of Rostraver was arrested on charges of child endangerment, reckless endangerment and simple assault in the incident that occurred about 10:15 p.m. at Lindauer’s mobile home in Voyager Estates Mobile Home Court, according to court documents.
Kassandra L. Kolenc, 26, of Yukon was charged with criminal mischief and criminal trespass, police said.
According to police reports, the incident began when a child in the home texted Kolenc to pick him up at Lindauer’s home.
“(Lindauer) then texted her back not to come over,” Officer Brian Dove reported in court documents.
When Kolenc arrived at the residence, police said she began “knocking and banging at the door … (and Lindauer) answered, pointing a .40-caliber automatic pistol at her.”
Police said Lindauer then closed the door on Kolenc, but she “kicked the door in,” causing damage.
Police reported Lindauer set the handgun on a table and continued arguing with Lindauer outside his mobile home.
Dove reported in court documents the child lifted the gun off the table, “pointed it at them as they stood outside and told them to stop.”
Lindauer was able to take the gun from the child, police said.
Lindauer was arraigned and released after posting $25,000 bond. Kolenc was released on unsecured bond.
No injuries were reported.
Dove reported in court documents Lindauer was charged with child endangerment for “putting down a loaded .40 caliber handgun on the table” where the child could reach it.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled July 26.
