Pittsburgh woman charged with trespass, resisting arrest in Kiski Township
A Pittsburgh woman is charged with criminal trespass, disorderly conduct and resisting arrest stemming from an incident Saturday afternoon in Kiski Township.
Devondra Miller, 25, also has been charged by township police with public drunkenness and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Police said they found Miller trespassing behind a residence along Isabella Avenue shortly after noon when they responded to a report of a suspicious person in the area.
Miller began to fight with an officer who eventually took her into custody, according to a news release from Kiski Township police.
She was found to be in possession of a smoking device for crack cocaine and was under the influence of cocaine to the point that she created a danger to herself or others, according to the release.
Miller was placed in the Armstrong County Jail after failing to post a $5,000 cash bond. She faces a preliminary hearing at 1 p.m. on July 6 before District Judge James Andring.
