Lower Providence Domestic Dispute Involves Biting and Sunblock, Police Say

A Lower Providence couple was arrested at their home Wednesday night after a domestic dispute involving multiple bite marks and an uncommon use of sunblock, according to a Lower Providence police report.   

According to police, Danielle Helen Zimmer, 31, and Daniel Lacy Rennard, 35, both of Salem Drive in Trooper Trailer Park, were involved in a dispute from the time when they left a party to when they arrived at their home, where four police officers were dispatched to confront the couple.   

Police indicated that when they arrived at the residence both Zimmer and Rennard were quite intoxicated, and both had visible injuries. 

According to police, Zimmer told them that the two of them had been out at a party and when it was time to drive home, Zimmer believed that Rennard was drunk and tried to prevent him from driving.  Zimmer explained that when she and Rennard left the party he refused to allow someone else to drive him.  Per the report, Zimmer said that he started to slap her and she squirted sunblock lotion all over his face.

According to Rennard, police said, after the couple arrived home, Zimmer kept biting him.  One of the officers observed several bite wounds on Rennard’s chest and several abrasions on his stomach.

Both Zimmer and Rennard were arrested for simple domestic assault and harassment that evening around 9pm and transported by police in separate cars to the Montgomery County Correctional Facility in Lower Providence, where they were to be processed and arraigned.  Police informed the facility staff that they would complete the criminal complaints.
