ROCKLAND – A paramedic-firefighter was charged with assaulting her police officer boyfriend last month after allegedly breaking into his e-mail at the Police Department and concluding he was cheating on her with a friend, according to court documents obtained Tuesday.

Dianna Kenney, 37, was released from Knox County Jail on Tuesday after her arrest on a warrant for an alleged assault Nov. 1.

Kenney has been a paramedic and firefighter with the city since Sept. 17, 1996, according to the city manager’s administrative assistant.

Kenney was released on personal recognizance bail with the condition that she has no contact, direct or indirect, with Rockland police Officer Patrick Allen “except for purposes of work-related necessity,” according to court documents.

When contacted Tuesday, both Kenney and Allen declined comment.

Kenney is scheduled to appear in 6th District Court on Feb. 27.

Allen, 29, has been a Rockland police officer since Sept. 4, 1998.

When Allen called in the domestic complaint the morning of Nov. 1, Deputy Chief Wallace Tower, Sgt. Lloyd Daniels and Officer Russell Thompson went to the Lake Avenue home.

After discussing the incident with the district attorney, Tower contacted Michael Middaugh, the domestic violence investigator for the Knox County Sheriff’s Department, to conduct interviews.

According to a report by Thompson, Kenney told him she “found out Pat had been sleeping with a mutual friend by reading his e-mail at work.”

According to the officers’ reports, Kenney was angered by her conclusion and came home to confront Allen about the information in the e-mail. Kenney claimed that she entered the living room “angry and hollering” and knocked a bowl of cereal off a coffee table, breaking the bowl. She then got into a scuffle with her boyfriend, and a lamp was knocked over and somehow hit her on the head and possibly Allen.

The altercation continued in an upstairs bedroom, where, Kenney claims, Allen knocked a television onto the floor.

Kenney asserts that when Allen went to call police, he told her he “knew how to play this game,” according to a report.

A report by Middaugh includes Allen’s version of the incident.

Allen explained that he was home eating a bowl of cereal in the living room when Kenney arrived at 7:35 a.m. It says she picked up a lamp and struck him on the left side of the head, which caused the bowl of cereal to be knocked from his hands.

Then Kenney began punching Allen in the face, cursing at him and telling him to leave, according to Middaugh’s report. When he asked why, she told him she had hacked into his computer at the Public Safety Building and read his e-mail written to her friend.

In the incident report, Allen claims that he never grabbed Kenney in any way because he weighs 220 pounds and that she weighs 130 pounds. He said he tried to talk to her, but she kept punching him in the face and told him that if he did not leave, she would throw his belongings outdoors and have a bonfire, the report states.

Allen told investigators that after he called police, Kenney grabbed the heavy lamp she hit him with and struck herself on the head five or six times, while saying that she was not going to jail, but he was.

In Allen’s scenario, the fight did not move upstairs to the bedroom.

He claims Kenney went upstairs after the initial confrontation and he heard a crash. He went up to the bedroom and discovered that Kenney had pushed his television off the dresser to the floor.

Police also interviewed Kenney’s sister, Susan Fuller, who witnessed part of the altercation, before taking her nephew to school.

According to Middaugh’s report, Allen did not want the case to go forward and said he would not cooperate with any prosecution through the District Attorney’s Office.

In his report, Middaugh indicated that the lamp used in the assault was a heavy, older iron style, which would have been difficult to knock over by simply brushing up against it.
