Sibling rivalry sunk to a new low for two sisters from Wood Dale, Illinois.
Pamela Majdan, 23, and Joyce Majdan, 31, exchanged blows over who caught the most pieces of Twizzlers during a Memorial Day parade.
According to Wood Dale Deputy Police Chief Greg Vesta, the sisters and other family members were gathered in front of their apartment complex observing the parade when an argument broke out between the two women over who had the most candy from the collection that parade organizers were tossing into the crowd.
One sister accused the other of having caught more Twizzlers, Vesta said, and the women doused each other with water. Pamela Majdan allegedly threw the first punch.
A civilian member of the police department was in the vicinity of the fight and radioed for assistance. The two women were separated after they had both exchanged several punches, with Joyce Madjan receiving a large welt to the side of her face.
Pamela Majdan was arrested and charged with domestic battery. According to Vesta, the younger sister was charged for the assault because cross-complaints are not allowed in domestic battery disputes in Illinois.
"We charge the individual who takes the first aggressive step," the Deputy Chief said.
However, Joyce Madjan was also arrested when she refused to give officers her personal information. She was charged with attempted obstruction of justice.
Joyce Majdan posted $100 bail at the Wood Dale Police Department and was released on the same day. Pamela Majdan was taken to the DuPage County Jail where she posted $300 bail the next day.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that alcohol was involved here.
Licorice sticks.
Twix, I could see. But Twizzlers?
You call that a "limb"? I'd call it a dead certainty.
That was irony. It's very popular on Free Republic. ;<)
Taste like wax, sugar & red food dye. I tried using them for fish bait once but couldn't get them to stay on the hook.
Well it's pretty darn evident we need to form a commission to look into banning "Twizzlers," if we can stop "one large welt" to the side of a someones face!! (Sarcasm button appears stuck!) Better yet, use the liberal "thought" process............ban all parades & end violence once & for all!!!!
If it were Reese's peanutbutter cups I could understand.
Not sure about twizzlers. But I learned long ago to never stand between my wife and a soon to be consumed bite of dark chocolate.
Well, YEAH. I hope you didn't suffer permanent injury before you woke up to that one.
" We've got a situation here. " Sounds like something from Reno 911.
No, it "sank" to a new low. And so did the reporter's English.
Family fun ping.
Boat caulking masquerading as candy.
Yeah, I know. Consider me your straight man.
