A Connellsville man was arrested after he allegedly pointed a shotgun at his wife and her father during an argument Sunday.

Jason Robert Provance, 20, is charged with aggravated assault, simple assault, terroristic threats and recklessly endangering another person.

Jeremy Lewis told police he went to the South Street residence to pick up his daughter, Kelsie Provance, because the couple was fighting. Provance allegedly threw a key at her before pointing the gun at them and ejecting a shell, according to the affidavit of probable cause filed in the case.

Connellsville police found a Mossberg Maverick 12-gauge shotgun at the South Street residence, along with two shutgun shells, they said.

Provance was arraigned Sunday night before on-call Magisterial District Judge Richard Kasunic II and lodged in Fayette County Prison in lieu of a $40,000 bond.
