Oswego County Sheriff's deputies say 30-year-old Crystal McMahon, of 3532 SR 49, struck her husband with the firewood poker several times in the Town of Hastings. She's also accused of damaging windows, a ceiling fan and glass candle holders with the poker.

McMahon is charged with assault, criminal contempt and criminal mischief. She was arraigned in the Town of West Monroe Court and sent to the Oswego County Justice Center in lieu of $1,000 cash or $2,000 bond.
