APPLETON — A 45-year-old Drake Settlement Road man stands accused of harassing a Newfane couple and breaking their cell phones during a disagreement Sunday afternoon.
According to the Niagara County Sheriff's Office report, Arthur J. Knight, 6805 Drake Settlement Road, was charged with fourth-degree criminal mischief and second-degree harassment (physical contact) following the altercation.
The couple told patrol that Knight asked the 71-year-old male half of the couple to go outside so they could talk. When the man declined, Knight got irate and began shoving him out the front door and then onto the ground, ripping his shirt and causing a cut to his forearm. The man further states that when he went to call 911, Knight grabbed his phone and threw it to the ground, smashing it.
The female half of the couple, 65, said she went out to check on her husband when Knight slammed the door in her face. She said when she did get outside, Knight grabbed and threw her cell phone, as well, and pushed her to the ground.
Knight, meanwhile, told patrol that the couple had refused to leave, which is why he pushed them out the door. He admitted to throwing and breaking their cell phones.
Knight was arraigned at the Town of Newfane Court for two counts of fourth-degree criminal mischief and two counts second-degree harassment. He was remanded to the Niagara County Jail on $100 bail. He is due back in Town of Newfane Court on Oct. 7.
