Police: Strattanville Woman Throws One Victim Over Bedroom Furniture, Repeatedly Punches Another During Domestic Incident

STRATTANVILLE BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) — A Strattanville woman is facing criminal charges following a violent domestic incident in which she allegedly threw a woman across bedroom furniture, then repeatedly punched a man.

Court documents indicate the Clarion-based State Police filed the following criminal charges against 33-year-old Kayla Marie Custer:

– Simple Assault, Misdemeanor (two counts)
– Harassment — Subject Other to Physical Contact, Summary (two counts)

According to a criminal complaint, Clarion-based State Police were dispatched to a residence on Staab Road, in Strattanville Borough, Clarion County, around 9:19 p.m. on Friday, August 7, for a report of a domestic violence call.

Trooper McGinnis, of PSP Clarion, arrived at the scene to find two known victims in the driveway of the residence.

Both victims reported they were involved in a physical altercation with Kayla Custer, the complaint states.

The first victim stated Custer forcefully “shoved” her into a bedroom wall, then threw her over a cedar chest and bed. The victim suffered what she believed was a dislocated right shoulder, according to the complaint.

The second victim told Trooper McGinnis he went to “break up” the altercation between Custer and the first victim, and Custer then struck him with her fist multiple times on his upper body and on his “Adam’s apple.” He said he didn’t know how many times she struck him because it was “so many times,” the complaint indicates.

Custer was arraigned in front of Magisterial District Judge Jarah Lee Heeter at 12:10 a.m. on August 8.

Unable to post $2,500.00 monetary bail, she was lodged in the Clarion County Jail on August 8.

She was released on August 10, on a surety bond posted by a professional bondsman.

A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday, August 18, with Magisterial District Judge Duane L. Quinn presiding.
