Washington County Controller April Sloane faced trial for a summary harassment offense stemming from an argument at a Christmas Party and received a favorable outcome. Sloane was charged by Cecil Township police after victim Kevin Hill reported that he had a drink thrown in his face by Sloane at the Peters Township Republican Party Christmas Party in December. Victim testimony stated that a discussion between him and Sloane became intense regarding his possible candidacy for Washington County Clerk of Courts. Sloane testified that the discussion was intense also. Both testified that they retreated away from the party while the argument continued. Sloane testified to feeling threatened by Hill. She walked away and got a drink and threw it at Hill. Sloane left the party and Hill called 9-1-1. Attempts to settle the case prior to the hearing were unsuccessful. Defense attorney Sean Logue called the case a “He said/She said” case where Sloane felt threatened and used the drink as self defense. The judge agreed and found Slone not guilty.
