Police say they found an open bottle of whiskey and two guns in the car, and that Marchese kicked, yelled expletives at officers and threatened them saying, "Just wait 'til I get my AK" - referring to an assault rifle.
"The man was in his car, like pleasuring himself, with a bottle of Jack Daniels on top of the car," said Ashley Coleman, a witness. "It was just very disturbing, kids were walking across the street, it was a mess."
As for the car Marchese was driving, officials say it had been stolen earlier in the day Monday from a storage facility on South Millvale Avenue.
Marchese is facing a dozen charges including aggravated assault, indecent assault, open lewdness, DUI and carrying a firearm without a license.
