A man used a taser on his estranged wife Friday night at the Grange Fair during a dispute over a child custody issue, state police at Rockview said.
Steven L. Peters, 27, of Chesapeake, Va., is charged with Simple assault, a misdemeanor, and harassment, a summary. He was released Saturday from the Centre County jail on $7,500 bond.
Police said the alleged assault happened shortly after 11 p.m. Friday near the maintenance facility on the fairgrounds in Potter Township. Peters had gone there to get the couple’s children, but an altercation involving pushing and shoving resulted, said police. Police didn’t say who did the shoving and pushing.
But they said that’s when Peters used the taser on the woman, stunning her arm and leaving red marks.
Peters is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.
