An argument over unpaid household bills resulted in a felony assault charge for one local woman on Thursday, Auburn police said.

Officers responding to a fight in progress on Logan Street arrested Cheryl Lynn Borza, 37, of 21 Logan St., apartment 1, after she was accused of punching a relative in the face and biting her on the right cheek.

Police said they believe Borza was intoxicated when the verbal argument allegedly progressed into a physical altercation.

The victim was transported to Auburn Memorial Hospital with non-life threatening facial injuries, police said.

Borza was arraigned in Auburn City Court and was remanded to the Cayuga County Jail without bail.
