A 32-year-old Shenandoah man charged with assaulting his live-in girlfriend at the time and threatening to kill her on Jan. 14 is among those scheduled to plead not guilty Monday during arraignment in Schuylkill County Court.
Michael C. Linkchorst, 4 Chunky Lane, was arrested by state police Trooper Mario Pompei of the Frackville station and charged with terroristic threats, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person and harassment.
Pompei charged Linkchorst with becoming involved in an argument with Shantae Bianca Kline, 20, after the woman said she was going to leave him.
During the argument, Linkchorst held the woman to the ground, pointed a knife to the area of her neck and chest and threatened to kill her, Pompei said.
