A Throop man sliced his girlfriend with a knife, leaving a wound on her arm that required 27 stitches, Archbald police charge.<\/p>\n
Police found Samantha Fanelli holding a blood-soaked towel to her left arm Sunday just after 4 p.m. The Archbald woman told an emergency medical technician her boyfriend, Shaun Cohen, cut her with a \u201cweird knife\u201d that he bought at Home Depot, police said. Fanelli, 29, was transported to Geisinger Community Medical Center for treatment.<\/p>\n
Fanelli told police that Cohen, 30, began harassing her after a shopping trip before spitting on her, punching her in the back and cutting her left triceps with a knife, police said.<\/p>\n
Cohen also smashed two of Fanelli\u2019s cellphones and two TVs, causing about $800 worth of damage.<\/p>\n
Police charged Cohen with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, possessing an instrument of crime, simple assault, harassment and criminal mischief.<\/p>\n
As of Monday, Cohen, 107 Bellman St., remained in Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $100,000 bail.<\/p>\n
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Feb. 23 at 10:45 a.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Throop man sliced his girlfriend with a knife, leaving a wound on her arm that required 27…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[2117,202,201,182,139,28,178,180,179,181],"class_list":{"0":"post-115489","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-scranton","8":"tag-archbald","9":"tag-crime-and-public-safety","10":"tag-lackawanna-county","11":"tag-local-news","12":"tag-news","13":"tag-pennsylvania","14":"tag-scranton","15":"tag-scranton-headlines","16":"tag-scranton-news","17":"tag-top-stories-stt"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115489","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115489"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115489\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7350"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115489"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115489"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115489"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
