Newell
Woman hit
by rock
Southwest Regional Police need the public's help in identifying the person who threw a rock into a moving vehicle Saturday night in Newell, injuring a Bentleyville woman.
Debra Combs, 55, a passenger in a car driven by her sister, Cheryle Johnson of Charleroi, suffered a cut near her right eye and a broken cheekbone when the rock was thrown into the vehicle's half-open window, police Chief John Hartman said.
The sisters were driving on Third Street in the Fayette County borough headed to a party about 9:30 p.m. when the incident occurred.
The 4-inch-long rock flew threw the window, which was open about 7 inches, and struck Combs above her eye.
Combs was taken to Mon Valley Hospital, where she was treated. She is offering a $500 reward for any information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the rock thrower, Hartman said.
Police recovered the rock from inside the car. They believe it was taken from railroad tracks that run along the road. Hartman said whoever threw the rock likely was standing on the tracks at the time.
Anyone with information on the incident should call Southwest Regional Police at 724-929-8484.
