Call me crazy if you’d like, but for some reason I have a feeling that this unseasoned chicken thing isn’t the first time that this family has had a night like this.
When Deputy Kyle Burns and Corporal Simpson arrived, they were told the situation began when Anthony Harper was asked “why he didn’t season the chicken that was cooking so it could crust up,” the report says.
Anthony replied he didn’t know how to cook and that their grandmother would season it. Hope Harper then called Anthony a ‘dumb dog’, and Anthony became angry, shoving Hope into a table and punching her about five times.
The two continued to fight alongside another victim. Another person in the home then came out of the kitchen and fired a warning shot from a 9 mm handgun into the ceiling to break up the fight.
Hope then went into the kitchen and grabbed a steak knife. Anthony broke free from being held back after this and ran to his grandmother’s door for fear of his life, the report states.
Hope started swinging the knife towards Anthony, then the grandmother came out of her room, grabbed a broom, and started swatting Hope until she walked away and put the knife up.
Anthony grabbed a can of Raid bug spray and sprayed Hope on the face and neck. Hope then grabbed the can from Anthony and sprayed him back.
Hope and Anthony both said they wanted to press charges, so both were arrested, charged and later released on bond.
Hopefully at least one of them has the good sense to realize that both of them going back to the same house right now is a bad idea…what am I saying?
