Two oil city men are facing charges after they and two other men are accused of beating another man at a residence in Oil City, causing him injuries.
At about 2 p.m., Friday, Oil City police received a phone call from a woman telling them that a man was laying on her bed bleeding and couldn’t talk because he just had been assaulted at a residence in the 200 block of Hone Avenue, Oil City police said in a criminal complaint.
Jerome Barber, 19, fought the man in an upstairs bedroom of the Hone Avenue house, punching him in the face and body, the complaint said.
Outside of the house, they made a comment to a witness to the effect that “your man” just got beat up, the complaint said.
Barber and Paolucci have each been charged with felony counts of conspiracy-aggravated assault- attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference and aggravated assault- attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference.
Barber was arraigned Tuesday before District Judge Andrew Fish and placed in Venango County jail after being unable to post bail.
His preliminary hearing is scheduled at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday before Fish.
