(Beaver County, PA) One of the three people who got charged for assaulting Preston Coleman at a VFW bar in Aliquippa on January 5th, 2025 made an appearance in court on Thursday. Brett Ours, the main suspect, did not stay in court for long. Ours and his defense attorney, Lee Rothman, left after Ours objected in court to not let a surveillance video of the incident play. The judge overruled Ours, who is in the Beaver County Jail with an attempted homicide charge against him. A trial will occur for Ours later this year, and the charges against Ours were held for a trial.
