A third person is now facing charges in connection with the attack on a man in early January at an Aliquippa VFW.

Police say 21-year-old Ireland Brown of Ambridge was the bartender on the night of January 5 when Preston Coleman was attacked.

Police charged Brown after reviewing video of the incident. She was given an opportunity to turn herself in, but failed to do so.

As of Monday morning, she remains at-large.

She is charged with three felonies, including conspiracy to commit aggravated assault, hindering prosecution and liability of conduct of another.

She also faces a misdemeanor charge of tampering with evidence.

The victim in the attack, Preston Coleman, was reportedly beaten for nearly 30 minutes.

Brett Ours, who police believe to be the main aggressor was arrested, along with Ronald Brown, the father of Ireland. Ronald turned himself in last month and faces assault charges.
