McMurray Man Charged After Threatening State Trooper

State police charged a McMurray man with disorderly conduct, making terroristic threats, public drunkenness and harassment after he threatened to “tear” the eyes out of a state trooper trying to cite him at The Meadows Racetrack & Casino Saturday.

“I will tear your eyes out. You (expletive deleted) with the wrong person. I’m Dominic LoCastro. You are dead. Your wife and children are dead. I’m coming after your family. You are going to pay,” LoCastro told the trooper, according to the criminal complaint. “I’m going to bury you. I will hunt your family for the rest of my days. You can let me go and be my best friend or I will never leave you alone for the rest of your life.”

The tirade came after the trooper asked LoCastro to leave, and that he would be cited with public drunkenness.

As the pair was riding up the escalator, court documents show that’s when the LoCastro, 53, of 411 Center Church Road, became “aggressive.”

Police said that’s when he threatened violence and needed to be handcuffed and taken to the state police barracks in Washington, where he “continued threatening for hours. The defendant then struck the office wall, damaging it,” according to the criminal complaint.

Locastro was arraigned before district Judge Jay Weller and remanded to the Washington County Jail on $35,000 bond. He was no longer listed as an inmate Wednesday.

His preliminary hearing is scheduled before Weller at 11 a.m. July 26.
