Police issued arrest warrants for three people who allegedly assaulted a man in Greene County and chased him into the woods, where he hid for several hours bleeding from injuries.

The victim, Ronald Conard, told Cumberland Township police he saw a car following him and recognized driver Logan Ice, front-seat passenger Jason Allen McCormick and rear passenger Cory Dain Ball. He said he also spotted the car repeatedly driving past him in Greensboro.

McCormick, 34, of Mt. Morris, “has come after” him multiple times because Conard “stole his girlfriend,” Conard reportedly told Cumberland Township police. McCormick allegedly pointed a gun at him Thursday near a gas well pad on Ullery Road, where Conard drove trying to evade them. Ball, 24, of Greensboro, and Ice, 27, of Mt. Morris allegedly attacked Conard, according to court documents.

“Conard said multiple times that he believes McCormick is going to try to kill him and is dangerous,” Officer Eric Orr wrote in the affidavit of probable cause.

Conard called 911 about 1:30 p.m., saying he got lost in the woods running from three people and was afraid to come out. Orr found him in a tree stand. He was bleeding from his ear and had scratches on his arms and marks on his chest. He told the officer he was dehydrated, court paperwork said.

Conard saw the Honda Civic on Roy Furman Highway. He drove to the well pad, thinking the Civic could not handle the terrain. All three men allegedly ran at him and attacked him when he got out of his Jeep. He eventually escaped and ran into the woods. EMS evaluated Conard, and he later asked his father to drive him to the hospital because of dizziness, according to court documents.

McCormick, Ice and Ball are charged with aggravated assault, riot, simple assault and disorderly conduct. Charges were filed before Magisterial District Judge Lee Watson.
