A fourth man, Jonathan Reynolds, 28, of 1030 Adams St., had his charges bound over for court yesterday following a preliminary hearing before District Justice Jennifer Nicholson.
Preliminary hearings had been set yesterday in Lawrence County Central Court for all four. They were charged for allegedly assaulting a man Nov. 15 at the Sons of Italy Club at 905 Mill St.
Waiving their cases were former councilman Chester J. Orelli Jr., 29, of 1731 W. Washington St., Aaron M. Cangey, 21, of 120 W. Garfield Ave. and Andrew Reynolds, 21, of 1030 Adams St. They were charged with simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct.
At the hearing for Jonathan Reynolds, Marty Yannarella testified that he had been attacked by four people, pulled into a closet “and beat up.”
Attorneys representing the four accused are Carmen Lamancusa for Orelli, Nick A. Turco for Andrew Reynolds, Bradley G. Olson Jr. for Jonathan Reynolds and the public defender’s office for Cangey.
Orelli resigned from council and from his position as an aide to state Rep. Jaret Gibbons of Ellwood City in September. Earlier, according to a presentment by a Harrisburg grand jury investigating the so-called Bonusgate scandal, Orelli testified under a grant of immunity.
In his testimony, he is said to have acknowledged performing political work while he was an aide to former state Rep. Mike Veon of Beaver County. Orelli received a $10,065 bonus, but was not charged.
