An Old Forge man assaulted his girlfriend during a domestic dispute and then attacked a neighbor who tried to help her, according to a criminal complaint.<\/p>\n
Kyle Bradley Vancosky, 35, faces charges of strangulation, assault and harassment after the Monday incident.<\/p>\n
At about 3:40 p.m., Old Forge police were called to 1018 Spring St. for the report of an assault.<\/p>\n
Responding officers spoke with neighbor Tanya Winkler, who said she heard yelling, looked out the window and saw Vancosky attacking Stacey Reviello, his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
According to the complaint, Winkler told police Vancosky covered Reviello\u2019s mouth and threw her to the ground several times.<\/p>\n
Winkler, concerned for Reviello\u2019s safety, went outside to intervene.<\/p>\n
Winkler told officers the couple seemed to be arguing over the car keys.<\/p>\n
When Winkler took the keys from the porch, Vancosky attacked her, wrapping his arm around her neck and leaving a red mark, police said.<\/p>\n
During an interview with police Vancosky admitted he \u201cput his hands on both of them,\u201d officers said.<\/p>\n
Reviello told police she had the keys and was going to get in the car, when a fight broke out between the couple.<\/p>\n
She said Vancosky hit her, shoved her, threw her to the ground and put his hand over her nose and mouth, making it hard to breathe.<\/p>\n
Vancosky remains at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $5,000 bail.<\/p>\n
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on Aug. 3 before District Judge Joanne Corbett.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Old Forge man assaulted his girlfriend during a domestic dispute and then attacked a neighbor who tried…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7350,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[202,201,182,139,16790,28,178,180,179],"class_list":["post-250379","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-old-forge","tag-pennsylvania","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250379","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=250379"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/250379\/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=250379"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=250379"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=250379"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
