CLEVELAND, Ohio -- A family fight led to an East Side woman stabbing her father and brother with a barbecue fork, police say.

Rochelle Carey, 40, reportedly became angry late Saturday night because two young family members, both 13, were planning to stay overnight at a home she shares with her father and sister on the 3100 block of East 117th Street.

Police say Carey began spraying the two teens with household cleaner. When her father, Benjamin Davis, 70, tried to stop her, she stabbed him in the ear with a barbecue fork.

Carey's brother, Christopher Carey, 31, also tried to stop her and was cut on his forearms and hands, police say.

Davis then maced Rochelle Carey before officers arrived.

Davis was treated and released for the wound to his ear at University Hospital. Christopher Carey refused treatment.

Rochelle Carey was taken to University Hospital for treatment for the mace and was confined for psychiatric evaluation, police say.
