Sean M. Shoff, 32, was charged following an intense road rage incident in Ephrata, police detailed in the release. The charges stem from an incident at the intersection of North Reading and Schoeneck roads at 1:33 p.m. on Aug. 27.
Shoff, a passenger in a dump truck, reacted aggressively after the truck was struck in the intersection, according to the police. Witnesses told police that Shoff exited the dump truck, climbed onto the other vehicle involved, began yelling, and stomped on the windshield while the driver was still inside. During the altercation, Shoff allegedly threatened the driver and caused significant damage to the vehicle.
Police gathered evidence through witness statements and surveillance footage, leading to Shoff's arrest on charges of terroristic threats, simple assault, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct.
He has been held in the Lancaster County Prison on $20,000 in bail as set by Judge Clark Bearinger during his preliminary arraignment at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29, according to his court docket. His preliminary hearing is scheduled before the judge at 10:15 a.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 19.
