Woman suing police over karaoke melee.

Even Beaver County (wherever that is) can't escape karaoke-fueled mayhem.
A woman who claims a Monaca police officer beat her during an arrest last year has agreed to enter the county’s first-time offender program on a charge related to that incident.

Patricia Turosik, 45, of 116 Autumn Lane, Center Township, agreed to enter the county’s Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program on a charge of disorderly conduct stemming from a brawl at the since-closed Monaca Croatian Club on Sept. 8, 2007.

Turosik will serve six months’ probation on the misdemeanor charge, and, if she fulfills all the requirements of the probation program, she can have her record expunged.

[...] In her lawsuit, Turosik said that a club employee had argued with her during a karaoke event, and she poured a beer on his head. The employee punched Turosik, setting off a brawl that ended up outside the club.
