NANTY GLO — Borough police charged a woman with assault after she allegedly punched officers and “made threats of suicide” by asking police to shoot her.
Nanty Glo police said Friday they were called to a domestic incident at a home on Fourth Street.
In a court document, police said that during the investigation a woman identified as Carol Lynn Zeglen, 42, of that address, became combative and punched two officers in the face.
She was arraigned by District Judge Max Pavlovich of Richland Township, the on-call magistrate, on charges of aggravated assault, simple assault and disorderly conduct.
Zeglen was taken to the Cambria County Jail after failing to post $10,000 bond.

State declares end to region’s drought
HARRISBURG – The drought watch declaration for 29 counties in western and northcentral Pennsylvania, including Cambria and Somerset, was lifted Monday by Environmental Protection Acting Secretary John Hanger.
Among the other affected counties nearby are Fayette, Indiana, Jefferson and Westmoreland.
“Although we saw below-average precipitation through much of the autumn, precipitation during the month of December was 2 to 5 inches above average, and a review of county monitoring gauges shows that average stream flows have risen to above normal conditions across the state,” Hanger said.
The drought watch was declared Nov. 7.
