DISORDERLY CONDUCT — At 12:15 p.m., Ross Cieniewicz, 47, of Main Street was assaulted by his girlfriend at a home on High Street while he was intoxicated, according to the report. His hand was cut from Tracy Wood, 50, of High Street assaulting him with a steak knife, police say. She told police they had been dating a month and was staying at her place while they were outside drinking and she asked him to leave but he would not, the report says. She tried to push him out of the apartment and he pushed back and forced his way inside, according to police. She denied brandishing a knife, saying her silverware was packed up because she Wood was moving. Both were arrested. At 2:15 p.m., police were called back to the apartment for Cieniewicz, who was there, he said, to get his cell phone and wallet from Wood. He was additionally charged with second-degree violating conditions of release.

Police say when she asked for the money, he showed her a ripped dollar bill so she tried to leave but he pushed her on the couch and got on top of her, according to the report, then took her cell phone so she couldn't call police.
