A Hempfield man is accused of shoving a woman out of her car onto Route 30 after she refused to have sex with him, according to North Huntingdon police.

William S. Wargo, 39, of 388 Edna Road, was charged with simple assault and harassment.

According to police, the incident occurred about 4:20 a.m. May 27.

Wargo waived his right to a preliminary hearing and is free on $10,000 unsecured bond while awaiting a hearing in Westmoreland County Common Pleas Court.

According to police, the incident occurred about 4:20 a.m. May 27. The 42-year-old victim said she and Wargo were returning home after dinner and drinks. They got into an argument because Wargo wanted to pull off the road to have sex, police said.

Wargo then ripped off her skirt, repeatedly slapped her in the face and pulled her hair, police said.

The defendant pushed the victim out of her 1995 Jaguar onto Route 30, near the Irwin interchange. She was treated for injuries to her head, hip, knee and ankle, police said.
