Man allegedly burned girlfriend
SCRANTON - A city man is facing assault charges after he burned his girlfriend's ear with a heated fork, kicked her in the torso and choked her until she lost consciousness on Friday, police said.
Luis Angel Feliciano, 22, of 1209 Townhouse Blvd., wanted to know whether his girlfriend, Katelyn Gonzalez, had cheated on him, according to a criminal complaint.
Not satisfied when Ms. Gonzalez told him she had never cheated, Mr. Feliciano heated a fork with a lighter and stuck it into her ear, city police said.
After Ms. Gonzalez lied, saying she kissed a boy when they "were broken up," Mr. Feliciano told her he could forgive her, and then dropped her off at her sister's house, the complaint said.
