Dickson City police arrested a man they say sprayed the mother of his child in the face with pepper spray as he held their 3-year-old daughter in his arms Wednesday.
Brittany Enslin, 22, told police she and her boyfriend, Ryan Williams, 25, 1027 Grant Court, got into an argument at home regarding their vehicle when Mr. Williams smashed a glass ashtray on the floor. Mr. Williams then grabbed the couple's daughter and started carrying her upstairs, spraying Ms. Enslin in the face with pepper spray when she tried to follow him, police said.
Ms. Enslin said her daughter began screaming that her face burned too, according to the criminal complaint.
Mr. Williams was arrested and charged with simple assault, harassment and endangering the welfare of a child. No additional information, including bail and a preliminary hearing date, was available Wednesday night.
