Buzzed brother throws wrench in wedding party

Associated Press
 

BOZEMAN, Mont. — A 31-year-old Three Forks man faces criminal charges after his sister reported he showed up drunk to her wedding reception and hit her in the mouth with a large wrench.

David J. Sicotte was arrested Friday night in Three Forks and charged with felony assault with a weapon and disorderly conduct. He is jailed in Bozeman on $15,000 bond.

Prosecutors say Sicotte arrived at the reception uninvited, pushed his sister’s new mother-in-law to the ground and started fighting with the groom. Witnesses say Sicotte later came at his pregnant sister with the wrench.

The bride told police she slapped her brother and he responded by hitting her in the mouth with the wrench.

The police report says officers found Sicotte leaving the residence, carrying a large wrench.

    That he used a wrench kind of makes sense. His sister was obviously a loose woman.

    I suppose the government will want us to license all of our wrenches now, or worse yet, force us to go metric!

    HEAR OUR VOICE!!!!

    Isn’t the crescent moon the symbol of Islam? A crescent wrench may have been used in this attack. They didn’t say what kind of wedding this was. I hate to jump to any conclusions but…

    Colbert has nothing on soccer mom susie. READ HER COMMENTS. HEAR HER VOICE. She is the greatest satirist of all time.

    Guess the bride did not get much kissing on the first night spent with her new husband. However, WHY did the bro bring a wrench to the reception? I can see and understand to a point that her brother was crapfaced, but things sure got out of hand. Too bad. Such a memorable day gone bad.

    Was the brother trying to knock out her last tooth? Montana is famous. It’s where the toothbrush was invented. You can tell because anywhere else and it would have been called the teethbrush.

    What a great family that must be. Bride hits brother. Brother hits bride. Mother in law laying in the dirt. What a great day!

    Montanans may be reading these posts, so everyone try to use small words.
