Three-way fight: A Lawson Avenue resident ended up booked into the county jail after she allegedly pepper sprayed her son's ex-girlfriend, Monday. Police said Darryl A. Feaster, 53, 545 Lawson Ave. (rear) was held overnight without bond on an assault charge. The ex said she'd gone to the residence to collect her medication when they started arguing "and she began to cry." She claims she was sitting in her car using Wi-Fi and trying to calm down enough to drive when Feaster approached and "began to yell" at her, and when she tried to explain why she was still there the older woman blasted her with the pepper spray through the window. Feaster said she returned home to find her son and his ex arguing and said her son "asked her to tell the female to leave" but alleged the ex started arguing with her and told her she harm her, so she grabbed her mace and sprayed, then went back in her house to call police and said her son left because "he did not want to be involved." Feaster admitted she didn't see any weapons, nor did the ex "reach or act as if she (had one)," and police said they didn't find a weapon on the ex or in her car.
Sucker punched: A man trying to drop food off at a residence in the vicinity of Adams Street at West Adams Street said he was assaulted, Monday.

He said his glasses flew off and his eye was injured.
Opportunistic: A downtown resident was booked into the county jail after he allegedly entered another man's apartment and stole his TV, Monday. Police said Jeremaine N. Lewis, 37, 180 N. Fourth St., Apt. 303, Steubenville, was charged with burglary and aggravated menacing after his building manager reported he'd threatened harm to her and her family. The TV's owner said he'd left his door open so his apartment would air out because he didn't have issues with anyone and felt he could leave it unsecured, but when he returned the television had been unscrewed from his wall mount. The building manager said she checked surveillance footage and was able to isolate footage of the TV being removed from the victim's apartment. She also showed police video of Lewis allegedly threatening to punch her and harm his father. Police said the missing TV was located on the floor in Lewis's apartment.
