The dispute took place July 15 at a home on Poplar Way in Bagley Township.
According to police, the suspect is 45-year-old Kristina Marie Rutterbush.
The suspect claims she was walking her dogs past the neighbor’s house when someone assaulted her.
However, neighbors and witnesses shared a different story.
They allege Rutterbush came on the neighbor’s property uninvited while while a gathering was taking place. Witnesses and neighbors say her behavior was erratic.
Rutterbush allegedly threw a drink on one of the attendees. Then when a man there asked her to leave she choked him.
She was arrested and taken to the Otsego County Jail. The judge also gave Rutterbush a $2,500 personal recognizance bond.
Her next court appearance is on Aug. 5.
