A Tamaqua man ended up in jail after a mother-daughter dispute on Aug. 22.

Police were dispatched to the 300 block of West Broad Street in Tamaqua, at 2:45 p.m., for a reported fight between a mother and daughter. The daughter, Cory Lynn Matalavage, 33, had fled the scene.The mother said the younger woman had been banned from the property at an earlier date, but had come to the home, saying she had a problem with her mother. She then grabbed the older woman by the hair, pulled her down several steps and began punching her in the face, breaking the victim's glasses in the fracas.While Tamaqua patrolman Karl Harig spoke with the victim, patrolman Cory Herring searched for Cory Matalavage at her former address, 301 W. Broad St., Tamaqua, a building condemned as unfit for human habitation. Matalavage was not inside, but Herring did find Jeremy Earl Plasko, 37, trespassing in the condemned building. Plasko was arrested and searched. Police found a syringe in his back pocket and Valium in the right coin pocket.Plasko was arraigned before District Judge Stephen Bayer on charges of defiant trespass, as he had been warned two days earlier about staying out of 301 W. Broad. He was unable to post the $5,000 bail set by the magistrate and was lodged in the Schuylkill County Prison.Cory Matalavage will be charged with simple assault, harassment, defiant trespass, criminal trespass and criminal mischief.
