Brittany Danielle Scheuing said her boyfriend injured himself during the argument. He refused to cooperate with prosecutors.
Prosecutors have dropped the charge against a woman accused of assaulting her boyfriend, Police Sgt. Michael Glassberg said. The unidentified man told police that Brittany Danielle Scheuing shoved him from behind, causing him to go through a glass door during a June 29 argument.

She was initially charged with third-degree assault, but Glassberg said that charge was dropped because of the man’s lack of cooperation. According to the County Attorney’s Office, prosecutors dismissed the case Sept. 18 after the victim told the defense …
