Baby Feeding Time Leads to Brawl
Sugarcreek – A married couple in Venango County have both been jailed after a knockdown drag-out fight over feeding their baby. 31-year-old Kevin and 28-year-old Brianna Frazer of Sugarcreek have both been charged with felonies, he for strangulation and her for assault with a deadly weapon, after neighbors called 911 about the couple fighting on Wednesday morning. Police questioned both combatants separately and did learn some basic facts that Kevin attempted to strangle Brianna and Brianna threw a knife at Kevin and hit him with a glass, but the order in which these events happened was muddled. At press time both remain in jail after failing to post bail.
