A Connellsville woman testified Wednesday that she feared for her safety when an off-duty police officer pulled her over in East Huntingdon in his personal car.
Kelsie Provance said she wouldn’t roll down her window when James Edward Shaw, 54, of Mt. Pleasant Township twice approached her Kia Soul on Route 119 and, later, Interstate 70.
“I was freaking out. I didn’t feel comfortable,” she said.
District Judge Charles Moore ordered Shaw to stand trial on a misdemeanor official oppression charge at the conclusion of a preliminary hearing. Moore said witness testimony showed Shaw detained the woman Oct. 27 while he was out of his jurisdiction.
