CLARION BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) — A Clarion woman is facing assault charges stemming from an alleged domestic assault that occurred on Wednesday afternoon. 

According to court documents, the Clarion Borough Police Department filed criminal charges against 34-year-old Kassie Carolina Deloe in Magisterial District Judge Duane L. Quinn’s office on Wednesday, June 1.

Clarion Borough Police were dispatched to an apartment on Agway Lane, in Clarion Borough, for a verbal domestic in progress, on Wednesday, June 1, around 1:43 p.m.

According to a criminal complaint, upon arrival, officers made contact with a known male in the parking lot who advised that he and Kassie Deloe were just in an argument, and she threw items at him.

The victim told police he called 9-1-1, and while on the phone, Deloe attempted to rip the phone out of his hand, and she scratched the area behind his right ear. Police observed and photographed a fresh scratch behind the victim’s right ear, approximately four to five inches long, the complaint states.
