(03/18/2015)

State Police arrested a Stinson Road man following a disturbance in the Stinson-Mud Fork community Saturday night. Kenneth Wayne Harrison, 48, was charged with domestic battery and domestic assault 1st/2nd by threats, according to a criminal complaint. Trooper S. A. Moore responded to a domestic dispute after a family member reported to 911 that Harrison was holding a woman to the ground, "yelling that she needs to get tattoos removed from her arm," according to the complaint. Officer Moore said the couple had been arguing throughout the day. The victim said her husband stated that if she did not remove the tattoos, there would be serious consequences. According to the complaint, Harrison grabbed his wife's arm and then began to heat a Copenhagen snuff can over the oven, and "began to press the (can) on her left arm where the tattoos were," causing 1st and 2nd degree burns. Officer Moore, in the complaint, observed the burn marks. The female victim, in the complaint, said she had gone to Braxton General Hospital for treatment, telling hospital personnel that she accidentally burned herself in fear of retaliation. Harrison is being held in Central Regional Jail with bond at $5,000.
