HOOPER, Utah, April 2, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — A man was arrested in Hooper after police said he broke another man’s windshield with a pitchfork following an altercation over steaks, officials said.
A probable cause statement from the Second District Court in Weber County said Brandon Fielding, 37, is facing charges of threat/use of a dangerous weapon in a fight, class A misdemeanor; criminal mischief, a class A misdemeanor; and intoxication, a class C misdemeanor.
Officials were dispatched to a fight in the Hooper area Saturday, the statement said.
“When I arrived, I spoke with the witness who stated that Brandon Fielding was involved in an argument with (another man) over who cut the steaks on the grill,” the probable cause statement said.
