A Monongahela couple is in the Washington County jail after they allegedly got into a booze-fueled brawl that ended with the wife trying to rip off her husband’s testicles.

Michael Ray Stilson, 52, and Pamela Marie Logue, 37, are each charged with simple assault and harassment after the incident Thursday, Monongahela police said.

Police were called to their residence in the 500 block of West Alley for a domestic dispute with both parties intoxicated, according to a police complaint.

Officers say they first encountered Logue at the residence, who told them she and her husband got into a “fight.”

When police went upstairs to speak with Stilson, they observed the bedroom door ripped off the doorway and Stilson standing on the other side of the door.

Police say Stilson told them Logue went upstairs to get a cigarette and more to drink. That’s when a fight broke out and she kicked in the bedroom door.
