SALEM TWP. — A woman fired a gunshot inside a home and her boyfriend nearly ran her down with a car because of a dispute about snowboarding, according to police.

Claudia Kathle Benshoff, 21, was arraigned Friday on charges alleging she illegally fired a gun in her home, while boyfriend Fred Curtis Dourand, 20, was charged earlier in the week with aggravated assault.

Police responded to Benshoff’s home in the Pleasant View Mobile Home Park around 11:50 a.m. Sunday to a report of a domestic dispute involving a gun.

According to the complaint, Dourand told police the dispute began because Benshoff would not let her brother go snowboarding with him.

Benshoff told police that Dourand began slamming things around and that he shoved her against a wall, so she grabbed a gun and fired in an unknown direction because she was afraid for her safety, the complaint says.

Dourand then left the home and Benshoff followed him out, gun in hand, police said. As Dourand began driving his black Dodge Charger, he went toward Benshoff and nearly hit her with the car, according to police.

Dourand then jumped out and wrestled Benshoff to the ground, taking the gun from her, police said. Dourand went back in the house and took a second gun to give to Benshoff’s mother, according to the complaint.

Police charged Dourand on Sunday with aggravated assault, simple assault, reckless endangerment, disorderly conduct and harassment. He is free after posting $5,000 bail through a bondsman.

Benshoff, who had self-inflicted cuts on her wrist, was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital – Hazleton for evaluation.

On Wednesday, police charged her with discharging a firearm into an occupied structure, simple assault, reckless endangerment and disorderly conduct.

Magisterial District Judge David A. Barilla arraigned Benshoff on the charges Friday afternoon and released her on $500 unsecured bail. A preliminary hearing was set for Feb. 5.
