Six people allegedly beat and robbed a woman near Gospel Hill in October, and the first of the alleged assailants was arraigned Thursday, court documents stated.
Altoona resident Emily Eirhart, 19, was arrested Wednesday by Altoona police and charged with robbery, inflicting and threatening bodily injury, aggravated assault, simple assault, theft by unlawful taking, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief and tampering with property, for her alleged involvement in the 2020 altercation, according to court documents.
Recently, Eirhart and several co-defendants provided the Altoona Police Department with taped confessions, prompting Eirhart’s arraignment, a criminal complaint stated.
In October, Eirhart and co-defendant Jason Z. Sanderlin, 20, plotted to ambush the victim as part of a revenge plot, because Eirhart and Sanderlin blamed the victim for their faltering relationship, police reported.
