Police: Uniontown woman attempted to bribe shooting victim
A Uniontown woman is facing a felony charge for allegedly trying to bribe a woman who was shot in December, asking her not to testify.
Uniontown City Police issued an arrest warrant Monday for Cierra Janae Wilcosky, 24, of Millview Street, who is the girlfriend of the defendant in the shooting case.
On December 19, Darrell D. “Baby D” Gregg, 29, of Wayne Street allegedly shot Donna Engle in the hip at 167 East Coffey Street at about 10:40 p.m. Engle was injured when Gregg allegedly shot through the door of the home. Gregg allegedly kicked in the door and went inside, followed by Wilcosky. Police said they were looking for Steven Friend, Wilcosky’s ex-boyfriend. Engle is Friend’s aunt. Gregg is awaiting trial on aggravated assault and related charges in the case.
According to the affidavit of probable cause filed in Wilcosky’s case, the women were at a friend’s house on Park Street Friday afternoon, when Wilcosky asked her to go into the kitchen, where no one else was around.
“I’ll pay you if you don’t go to court against Baby D,” Wilcosky reportedly said.
She was charged with intimidating a witness.
Charges were filed before Magisterial District Judge Michael M. Metros.
