At 5:30 a.m., police were called to a home on Charleston Court because of a fight between a husband and his wife, Lawrenceville police Capt. Greg Vaughn said.

When two officers arrived, they tried to arrest 28-year-old James Felio, but he wouldn’t cooperate, Vaughn said. He said a struggle ensued between Felio and one of the officers.
