Jury finds city man guilty of aggravated assault

HOLLIDAYSBURG — A city man on trial for attacking multiple customers at the 700 Chestnut Ave. Sheetz in June 2025 was convicted Friday afternoon of felony aggravated assault and related charges.

The jury of six men and six women deliberated for about 80 minutes before returning their unanimous verdict against Terrell Jarod Sanders, 41, who prosecutors showed via surveillance footage attacking three customers at the store in the early morning hours of June 28.

Following a day of testimony Thursday, which saw Sanders take the stand in his own defense, the jury pronounced Sanders guilty of a felony count of aggravated assault – attempts to cause serious bodily injury or causes injury with extreme indifference, two misdemeanor counts of simple assault and a misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.

Based on the jury’s verdicts, presiding President Judge Wade A. Kagarise found Sanders guilty of three summary counts of harassment and a summary count of public drunkenness.

Sanders was remanded to the Blair County Prison with bail revoked pending sentencing in front of Kagarise on June 12.
