Christmas night fight between sisters over apple fritters ends in stabbing



One sister is hospitalized and another is in jail after an argument over apple fritters ended in a stabbing.

Akron police say they were called to the 900 block of Springdale Street around 11:30 p.m. Christmas night for a reported stabbing.

Investigators say one sister was in the kitchen making apple fritters when two other sisters “started to play fight” over the treat.

At one point, police say, one sister pulled the hair of the other sister.

The sister whose hair was pulled, Contisha Q. Hayes, pulled out a knife and stabbed her sister, Tamara D. Delaney, 21, in the chest.

Delaney was taken to Akron City Hospital for treatment of what authorities say was nonlife-threatening injuries.

Hayes, 21, of Callis Oval, has been charged with felonious assault.

She is in the Summit County Jail.

Fritters, barbecue sauce ... who knows what foodstuff will spark a holiday fight?

Denbo couple jailed after barbecue sauce dispute
Washington (Pa.) Observer-Reporter

A couple spent Christmas in Washington County jail after fighting over barbecue sauce. William Edward Balas, 56, and his girlfriend, Tracy Lee Giffin, 42, both of Denbo, have been charged with simple assault and harassment.

Belle Vernon state police responded to a call of a domestic dispute at 20 Ridge Road in Denbo around 11 p.m. Tuesday. Police said Giffin bit Balas on the nose and hand, and then he struck her in the eye. Both had injuries.

The fight started because Giffin neglected to pick up barbecue sauce from the grocery store, according to the police report.

The couple was video arraigned by District Judge David Mark and taken to jail on $5,000 bond early Wednesday morning.

I don't know what kind of families you came from but I had 2 sisters and a brother and we certainly didn't nor don't now go around fist fighting or stabbing each other. We verbally fought of course as all siblings do but physical wasn't allowed in my family nor were my kids allowed to physically fight with one another it can be taught you know. Obviously this family of blacks is a great model for families according to your comments. This is violence at it's worst.

We did the opposite. The kids were encouraged to fight with each other in a structured setting. Same with the grand kids. Fists, martial arts and practice blades were and are all used. Gives them confidence - not a one of them ever gets bullied in school and none of them bully others.
