Kline Avenue. He was accused of assaulting a female during which he ripped off her clothing and threatened her. When she attempted to leave the residence he dragged her back inside by the hair, the police report stated.Heffelfinger attempted to blame the incident on the victim saying she was intoxicated at the time and that he was attempting to defend himself.
