It didn't stop with trash talking.

In fact, after a Lower Saucon woman told her garbage man to pick up her junk with his teeth, she allegedly punched him hard enough to break a tooth Wednesday in a fight over a trash pickup, police said.

At about 1:16 p.m., Ryan Campbell of Lehighton was driving his Riess Bros. Hauling truck down North Drive when a woman yelled at him, according to Lower Saucon police.

It came from a house that hadn't stacked its garbage by the curb, police said, but Campbell turned around to collect the trash.

The woman, Sarah Hart, brought her garbage to the end of the driveway and threw it on the ground, police said.

She told Campbell to "pick it up with your teeth because you are a garbage man," the police report said. "You drive a garbage truck and I drive a Range Rover."

Campbell tried to leave, but Hart pulled him from the truck and hit him on the left side of the face, police said. The blow left a red patch and broke a molar, according to the report.

Campbell continued to try to leave, but Hart blocked his truck with her Range Rover.

Lower Saucon police will charge Hart with simple assault and harrassment, according to the police report.
