Upon striking him, the defendant allegedly told the victim he had five seconds to tell him the truth about where his girlfriend was or the victim would be done.
The victim then locked himself inside his residence and notified the authorities. Forshey was being held at the North Central Regional Jail on a $75,000 surety bond.
