Woman hits adult son with bat on third strike
CHARLEROI, Pa. — A southwestern Pennsylvania woman was charged with hitting her adult son with a Louisville Slugger after she allegedly came home drunk. Linda Newstrom, 49, faces a preliminary hearing Feb. 25 on simple assault and other crimes in the Valentine's Day incident.
Charleroi police said Newstrom kicked her 21-year-old son Jeffrey out of the house then swung the bat at him as he gathered his belongings — missing on the first two swings but connecting on a third.
Newstrom doesn't have a listed phone and online records don't list a defense attorney.
Police said Newstorm claimed her son hit her, but also acknowledged that she hit him with the bat, saying, "I brought him into this world and I'll take him out of this world."
Kevin Gartland watches in court in Barre, Vt., Tuesday. Gartland is accused of aggravated assault in the 2008 incident at a reception in Duxbury. Prosecutors say Gartland got into a fight with groom Ryan Kessler and bit off his eyebrow.

Drunk brothers fight ejection from winery
FAYETTE, N.Y. — Two Pennsylvania brothers on an upstate New York wine tour have been charged with beating up a winery owner who tried to eject them for drunkenness.
State police say 28-year-old Thomas Wulff of Lebanon and 27-year-old Michael Wulff of Towanda were charged with felony assault after last weekend's altercation at the Three Brothers Winery in the Finger Lakes town of Fayette, about 35 miles southwest of Syracuse.
Troopers say the brothers were part of a group and were in the winery's tasting room Saturday afternoon when the owner asked them to leave for being too intoxicated and disruptive.
Police say the Wulfs punched and kicked the owner, breaking a bone near his eye. The injured owner's name
hasn't been released.
They were released on bail and are due back in court March 3. Their lawyer, Joseph Joch, did not immediately return a call.
