According to a criminal complaint, around 2:15 p.m. on March 15, Clarion-based State Police were dispatched to a residence on Hickory Drive in Redbank Township, Clarion County, for a report of a domestic disturbance in progress.

Police then interviewed a known victim who stated that she had stopped at a family member’s home when Katrina Pohl ran up to her and began screaming at her to leave.

The victim told police that Pohl was not permitted to be at the residence.

According to the complaint, the victim reported Pohl then began pushing her, and she pushed past Pohl to get to the bathroom of the residence. However, she noted that Pohl followed her and continued yelling and screaming.

The victim stated that when she left the bathroom and moved toward the door, Pohl pushed her down in the mudroom area then kicked her in the ribs on her left side. Pohl then allegedly got on top of the victim and bit her right shoulder, and began slapping her. The victim also said Pohl scratched her behind her right ear, according to the complaint.

She said her sister then got between her and Pohl, at which time Pohl bit her sister on the hand, and they began fighting.
