Two Butler neighbors were both arrested Saturday after one tried to break into the other’s apartment, and the other, who happened to be home, retaliated against the would-burglar.

One of the suspects, 51-year-old Scott A. Koosher, ended up with minor injuries when he was allegedly attacked by 24-year-old Edward J. Marosky, according to court documents.

Butler police were called about 5 p.m. after the not-so-neighborly altercation at an apartment building in the 400 block of North Main Street.

When officers got there they found Marosky standing and an injured Koosher laying in the floor in the hallway between their apartments, police said.

Marosky told police that he was home when he heard someone trying to enter his apartment. He looked and saw Koosher, documents said.

The younger tenant admitted that the lock on his door was broken for some and that someone had previously entered his apartment and stolen items, including a binder filled with about 100 DVD movies.

He said he chased Koosher back to the older tenant’s apartment. Koosher tried to shut the door on Marosky, who forced his way in, documents said.

The door of Koosher’s apartment appeared broken in, police said, and its frame was broken.

Marosky acknowledged that he “beat Koosher’s (expletive),” according to a police affidavit.

Officers described Koosher as having cuts and bruises on his face and body.

Marosky told police that when he was inside Koosher’s apartment, he noticed one of the belongings — the DVD-filled binder valued at $1,000 — previously stolen from his apartment.

Koosher claimed he was sleeping when his neighbor “just kicked the door in and attacked him,” documents said.

While officers were in Koosher’s living room they saw the binder that Marosky had described, police said.

Koosher assured police that the property was his. Officers, however, noted that he was “unable to name a single movie which was inside the binder,” the affidavit said.

Police arrested both men. But when advised he was under arrest, Marosky became combative with officers. One of the officers had to deploy his Taser, documents said, before the suspect was taken into custody.

Marosky is charged with burglary, simple assault and resisting arrested. Koosher is charged with attempted burglary and receiving stolen property.

Koosher is in the Butler County Prison on $3,000 bail. Marosky is free on his own recognizance.
