Uniontown woman accused of throwing mirror at police

A Uniontown woman is accused of throwing a mirror at police while she barcadaded herself inside the room of a house early Tuesday morning , according to a criminal complaint. Uniontown police said Thomas Beck claimed that Merika Maust, 23, had broken into 36 Cleveland Ave in Uniontown and locked herself into a room at around 1 a.m.

Police said when they were able to force the door open, Maust threw a large mirror at one of the officers. Police said they deployed a Taser after Maust because she continued to fight with them. The complaint did not indicate why Maust was inside of Beck’s home.



She is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault and reckless endangerment. She is currently being housed at the Fayette county jail in lieu of a $20,000 bond. Her preliminary hearing is scheduled in front of District Judge Jason Cox later this month.
