A North Versailles commissioner was acquitted today on charges that he kidnapped and assaulted a woman he met in a bar in November 2006.

Allegheny County Judge Jeffrey A. Manning also found Kash Snyder, 37, not guilty of unlawful restraint and reckless endangerment in the incident. The victim of the alleged attack, Monica Hanner, began shouting at the defendant after the verdicts were announced, and sheriff's deputies cleared the courtroom, court officials said.

Ms. Hanner testified at trial that she and a friend met Mr. Snyder at Tequila Willie's in the Strip District, and went bar-hopping with him in Station Square, the South Side and Oakland. Afterward, he offered her a ride to her car, but didn't let her out, she said. She testified that in his car, he slammed her head against the dashboard and when she got out and ran from his car in Forest Hills, she said, he fired a gun at her twice. She was not injured in the alleged shooting.

She also called 911 from a cell phone twice in a two-hour span, saying the defendant was going to kill her.
