A White Township man was sentenced to serve time in state prison for charges related to shooting at his child’s mother in 2020.
District Attorney Bob Manzi announced in a news release that 34-year-old Todd Jakosh will serve four to eight years in state prison after shooting at his child’s mother after he was served a final protection from abuse order in July 2020. At that time, Jakosh assaulted the mother after the two were in a verbal argument, causing both injuries to her and damage to her property. The mother filed a PFA after the incident and Jakosh was ordered to not have any contact with her.
In the days following, Jakosh drove to her place of work with a gun and when she refused to get into his car, he fired at her and attempted to gain entry into the workplace. Indiana Borough and Pennsylvania State Police officers responded and found Jakosh along College Lodge Road after he fled the scene and arrested him without incident.
He was initially charged with Aggravated Assault and Firearm-related offenses. He was also charged under federal indictment for possession of a firearm while under a PFA. Sentencing for the federal case will be held July 21.
Manzi said in the release that domestic violence is a serious matter and he reminds everyone that services are available for victims of domestic violence.
