SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) - A Sioux Falls couple is facing criminal charges after police say they broke into an apartment armed with an ax and crowbar in a dispute over a TV.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says the 23-year-old woman and 21-year-old man are facing charges of aggravated assault, burglary and cruelty to a minor.
Clemens says the two went to an apartment building Friday, climbed over a fence and the woman used the ax to break the patio door glass. There were two children and three adults in the apartment.
Police say the woman struck a man in the hand while her partner continued to swing the crowbar. The injury required stitches at the hospital, the Argus Leader reported.
The residents inside the apartment eventually started throwing things back at the pair and they left. They were arrested a short time later. Clemens says the confrontation involved a dispute over who owned a TV.
