A Strabane man already facing trial for attempted homicide will face a second trial for aggravated assault. Dee Frazee, 27 waived charges of aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, false imprisonment and others to court at his preliminary hearing Tuesday morning. Frazee is accused of confronting a man on December 1 in the Home Depot parking lot in South Strabane Township. Frazee trapped the victim, Mike Tedeschi, by cutting him off from leaving his parking space, leaving his truck and beating on the victim’s truck with his gun. Tedeschi testified that a second man blocked him by standing behind his vehicle not letting him back out of the slot. Frazee ordered the victim out of his truck and held him at gunpoint briefly before both aggressors realized that Tedeschi is not the man that they thought had jumped them at another time. All seven charges were held for court. Frazee is being held in the Washington County Jail on a separate set of charges stemming from a shooting he was allegedly involved in at Frankie I’s Restaurant on New Year’s Eve. Frazee will be arraigned on April 28.
