Sisters Sheriff's calls

• A man reported being assaulted by his father-in-law a couple of days before Christmas.

When deputies responded, they found the reporting party passed out on the floor. Further investigation concluded that the man was suffering from low blood sugar and the effects of a cocktail of allergy medication and alcohol. He did not appear to have any injuries.

It turned out that the "assault" had occurred when the man's wife tried to leave the room and the intoxicated man blocked the doorway. His wife's dad removed him from her path.
