Woman Attacked With Fish Tank, Bike; PA Man Charged: Police

LANCASTER COUNTY, PA — A Pennsylvania man is facing numerous charges after police said he fired shots near officers during a standoff and assaulted a woman using a bicycle and a fish tank, according to authorities and a report.

Scott R. Golicher, 53, of Lancaster, was charged with several counts including aggravated assault, strangulation, reckless endangerment and making terroristic threats following a Monday standoff with police in East Lampeter Township, according to prosecutors and court records.

East Lampeter Township police said they were called to a disturbance in the 100 block of Crest Avenue shortly before 11:20 p.m. When officers arrived, police said Golicher fired two rounds from a gun before retreating into the house.

Police set up a barricade around the home, according to authorities, and Golicher was taken into custody shortly before 1 a.m.

Before police arrived, an affidavit of probable cause obtained by PennLive.com said Golicher was drinking and became upset with a woman outside the home. Court documents said Golicher hit the woman with a bicycle and knocked her to the ground before picking up a fish tank and hitting her several more times, PennLive.com reported. He also punched the woman several times, the report said.

“Scott also placed his hands around her neck and squeezed until she saw stars and believed she was going to pass out,” police wrote in court documents. “During this assault, Scott yelled that he was going to kill all of them.”

A 6-year-old boy was also injured when Golicher pushed him into a doorframe, according to PennLive.com.

Golicher remained in jail after a judge denied bail at a Tuesday hearing.
