Man claims he was assaulted twice at haunted farm attraction


Recommended Posts

SMITHFIELD, PA ? A 20-year-old Fayette County man filed a police report after he said he was assaulted twice at a Halloween-themed attraction over the weekend.

Joshua Detrick said he was at Fright Farm in Smithfield, Fayette County, Saturday night when one of the actors punched him in the face.

According to Detrick, when he went to complain to the owners, he was brushed off and injured by a security guard.

"As I was walking over, he told one of his security guards to get me out of there. He grabbed me, so I pushed him to the side. Then he grabbed me from behind, pulled me down to the ground and fell on top of me," Detrick said.

Detrick told Channel 11 News that he's been going to the attraction since he was in middle school, sometimes as much as three times per week.

Detrick said he sprained his ankle and is now using crutches.

"He was here to have fun, and he got assaulted. He tried to do the right thing and then got assaulted a second time," Detrick's aunt, Jana Detrick, said.

The president of Rich Farms, which operates the attraction, didn't want to go on camera, but said they always try to run a safe event for kids and families. He said he's sorry about the incident, and he's willing to work with the Detrick family to straighten it out.

    • Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.
    • Well done Massie. This is how to treat the Fox News filth.   
    • I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
