According to a criminal complaint filed in Magisterial District Judge Timothy P. Schill’s office, Marienville-based State Police responded to a call around 7:46 p.m. on March 4 in the Lake Lucy Road area, Tionesta, Washington Township, Clarion County.

Police made contact with Caitlyn Mabold at her residence on Lake Lucy Road. Mabold reported that a verbal argument had taken place between her and her boyfriend, Justin Gyer, who also resides at the residence. The argument started regarding dinner the previous evening and became physical. Mabold stated that Gyer “began shouting and trying to leave the residence,” according to the complaint.

Mabold reported that as Gyer tried to leave, he pushed her out of the way. Mabold said that she “took that as a sign of aggression” and subsequently struck Gyer with a closed right fist, making contact with his nose and making it bleed, the complaint states.
