Pennsylvania woman charged after allegedly threatening neighbour with pitchfork over chickens
Pennsylvania woman Susan Shea, 58, has been charged after allegedly threatening a neighbour with a pitchfork during a dispute over chickens. Police say the incident matters because the threats reportedly extended to the neighbour’s family and dog, and Shea was still on probation for an earlier assault and disorderly conduct conviction.
The neighbour in Otter Creek Township, about 75 miles north of Pittsburgh, told police Shea wanted compensation for her chickens. A video reportedly shows her dragging a pitchfork along the road and saying she was “the new Freddy Krueger”; she also allegedly threatened to burn down two homes and put the pitchfork through her neighbour. Shea faces misdemeanor charges of making terroristic threats and harassment, as well as summary charges of disorderly conduct and harassment, and is due before a district magistrate this month.
