Authorities in Union Parish say they've arrested someone after a fight over a Vienna sausage.

Union Parish media contact Johnny Gunter explains what authorities say happened:

An argument over Vienna sausage has landed a Marion man in the Union Parish Detention Center.

Donald L. Traylor, 58, was booked June 2 into the parish jail at Farmerville charged with aggravated second-degree battery. His bond was set at $25,000.

Sheriff Dusty Gates said deputies were told that Traylor’s neighbor, a woman, wanted a Vienna sausage and he refused to give her one. Traylor said the woman hit him between the eyes so hard that it nearly knocked him out of his electric wheelchair.

Deputies reported that they did not see any physical marks on Traylor but the victim had a deep cut on the right side of her nose. Traylor said, even though he pulled out an open knife, that he did not stab the victim. He told deputies that when he pulled out the knife, that the woman lunged at him causing the knife to cut her.
