CARBONDALE
Police arrested a Carbondale Twp. man who they said struck another resident with a pistol before fleeing from officers.
Police responded to a report Saturday that Donald Lamberton, 43, was threatening Bernard Edwards with a gun at Edwards’ home. Lamberton hit Edwards with the handle of his pistol and fled by car from the home at 850 Geary St., police said.
Officers tracked Lamberton to his home at 923 Canaan St., where — after officers asked for him to come outside — he jumped out a window and fled into a wooded area behind the home. Police eventually found him there. Lamberton was also in possession of 9.1 grams of marijuana, according to police.
He is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a controlled substance and other related charges. Bail information was not available Sunday.
