An early morning open line 911 call and the sound of a disturbance in the background led to the arrest of Blaine Alan Cochran. Lycoming Regional Police Officers discovered that Cochran had been physically assaulting the victim over the last several days. Evidence of bruising to include a swollen black and blue left eye were visible. The victim alleged that Cochran threatened her life, stating, "Tomorrow's the day you're going to die." The victim reported that after Cochran struck her in the eye, he flipped her off of the couch, forced her head and neck downward, and repeatedly punched her in the back of the head. The victim stated that she believed Cochran was attempting to break or snap her neck.  

Lycoming Regional Police Officers, assisted by a South Williamsport Police Officer were able to take Blaine Cochran into custody following a struggle and successful taser deployment. Blaine Cochran was evaluated by EMS and then taken to the hospital. Once cleared, he was processed and arraigned by Magisterial District Judge, Aaron Biichle. He was committed to the Lycoming County Prison in lieu of $50,000 bail.

All persons are presumed innocent until proven guilty in the court of law.
