LAKE WINOLA, Pa. -- Tony Rodham, the brother of New York's Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, was assaulted by a man who accused him of having sex with his girlfriend in the longtime Rodham summer home in Lake Winola, Pa., near Scanton.
Daniel Martin Coyne, 45, was charged with assault, burglary and trespassing, according to Pennsylvania State Police. He was released Monday on $25,000 bail from the Wyoming County Correctional Facility.
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 28.
"Coyne said he came to the cottage at about 3 a.m. and saw his girlfriend Kelly Ann Quick, 36, and Tony Rodham having sex," a Pennsylvania State Police spokesman said. "He assaulted Rodham and the noise alerted his brother, Hugh Rodham, who ordered him from the cottage."
Tony Rodham, 47, suffered facial lacerations. He was divorced last year from Nicole Boxer, the daughter of California Sen. Barbara Boxer.
Police said that Coyne made a second trip to the cottage to retrieve his keys and he allegedly assaulted Tony Rodham a second time.
Hugh Rodham and Quick stepped in to break up the fight between the two men. Tony Rodham said he hit Coyne to defend himself.
Coyne was treated in a hospital for a dislocated shoulder, lacerations, and a swollen eye.
Neither Rodham brother could be reached for comment. Sen. Clinton's office said she had no information on the weekend events of her brothers.
