BESSEMER, Pa. — A western Pennsylvania man is jailed on charges he threatened to drop a 100-pound toilet onto a state trooper responding to a disorderly conduct call.

Trooper Joseph Vascetti tells The Associated Press that another trooper encountered 33-year-old Steven Herman after neighbors complained Wednesday night that the man was being loud and throwing objects onto his driveway in Bessemer, about 45 miles northwest of Pittsburgh. Vascetti says Herman hid in an open attic where he perched the ceramic toilet on a ledge and threatened to push it onto the trooper if he came closer.

The trooper eventually got past that hazard and subdued Herman with a stun gun, but not before the suspect allegedly threatened the trooper with a stick and a whiskey bottle.

Online court records don’t list an attorney for Herman, who faces a preliminary hearing June 16.
