Troopers were dispatched about 11:25 a.m. Sunday to the Nittany MinitMart, 325 N. Front St., after multiple people reported the fight, police wrote in an affidavit of probable cause.
A man told police he and his wife invited Kaleb J. Lamb, 30, of Beaver County, and Brittany M. Davis, 31, of Clearfield County, to their Philipsburg home. After Lamb and Davis left, the man told troopers $500 was missing and that he confronted them at the convenience store.
Lamb brandished a knife, but was taken to the ground while Davis fought with another woman, police wrote. Nicholas K. Rumsey, 34, of Clearfield County, was accused of holding a wooden bat and threatened to use it before troopers arrived.
