A patient at the Warren State Hospital faces charges after an incident with staff on June 5.

Antwyn Lassiter, 46, of Warren was charged with three counts of second-degree felony aggravated assault, three counts of simple assault and three counts of harassment. Lassiter was preliminarily arraigned June 6 by Magisterial District Judge Laura Bauer and a preliminary hearing was held in Bauer’s court on Wednesday. Lassiter was taken to the Warren County Prison on June 6 after being unable to post $10,000 cash bail.

According to the Affidavit of Probable Cause, an aide in the hospital allegedly told Lassiter it was time to take his medication. Lassiter reportedly went into his room and came out with a cup of urine, which he then allegedly threw in the aide’s face, getting urine in the aide’s eyes and mouth. The aide went to get a shower and change his clothes, with two additional aides sent to the unit to stay with Lassiter.

The affidavit states Lassiter paced back and forth for several minutes before lunging at one of the aides, taking the aide to the ground and scratching the aide’s face. The second aide then tried to break up the confrontation and was allegedly hit in the face and neck by Lassiter.

All three aides were taken to Warren General Hospital for an evaluation, according to the affidavit.

Lassiter was also charged March 6 with second-degree felony aggravated assault, simple assault and harassment after an alleged incident Feb. 13. Bail in that case was initially set at $25,000 before being changed to nonmonetary bail in April, with the condition Lassiter would be monitored at the Warren State Hospital.
