Plaintiff CUMBERLAND COUNTY, PENNSYLVANIA
V. : DOCKET NO. 10-6961 CIVIL TERM
DEBRA A. MASON, CIVIL ACTION -LAW
Defendant
COMPLAINT
AND NOW, this day of November 2010, comes the Plaintiff, Angela M.
Brungard, by and through her undersigned attorney Joseph L. Hitchings, Esquire, and
avers in support of her Complaint against Defendant, Debra A. Mason, as follows:
1. Plaintiff, Angela M. Brungard is an adult individual with an address of P.O.
Box 81, Grantham, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania 17055.
2. Defendant, Debra A. Mason is an adult individual currently residing at 664
Woodbourne Road, York County, Pennsylvania, 17339.
3. At all times material hereto, Defendant was the owner of a single family home
located at 806 Grantham Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania,
17055.
4. At all times material hereto the relationship between the Plaintiff and the
Defendant was Daughter and Mother.
5. Beginning on or about December 28, 2009, Plaintiff rented the home from the
Defendant located at 806 Grantham Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County,
Pennsylvania, 17055, and moved her personal belongings, including furniture, clothing,
appliances, and other items into the residence.
6. Although the parties had no formal, written lease agreement, Defendant did
provide to Plaintiff a written list of expenses that she would need to pay as rent.
7. Plaintiff and her newborn son continued to reside in the residence at 806
Grantham Road, Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, 17055, until July 2,
2010, when Defendant changed the locks and refused Plaintiff access to the property.
8. Defendant subsequently filed a Complaint before the Magisterial District
Judge Mark Martin, seeking money damages and an Order of possession.
9. Following the hearing before Judge Martin, a date was set for Plaintiff to
return to the property to retrieve her personal property from the residence.
10. On or about July 25, 2010, Plaintiff and several friends came to the Grantham
Road property to retrieve Plaintiff's property. Upon entrance into the property, Plaintiff
saw that some of her property had already been placed in boxes, and Plaintiff was
restricted from going into certain areas of the house where some of her belongings were
located.
1 l . Defendant refused to permit the Plaintiff to remove various pieces of furniture
and other items which belonged to the Plaintiff. A true and correct list of the property that
Defendant retained belonging to Plaintiff, and the value of the same, is attached hereto
and incorporated herein as Exhibit "A".
12. Defendant has unlawfully and without justification retained property
belonging to the Plaintiff, and has refused to either return the property or pay the value of
the same to the Plaintiff.
13. During the time that Plaintiff resided in the property, she parked her 2003
Honda Civic backed into the driveway.
14. After July 25, 2010, Plaintiff's father returned to the property to remove
Plaintiff s vehicle and noticed that the hood, passenger door, and rear quarter panel, and
driver's side door were damaged. This damage did not exist prior to July 25, 2010.
15. It is believed and therefore averred that Defendant vandalized Plaintiffs car
causing three thousand six hundred ten dollars and forty cents ($ 3,610.40) in damages.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Angela M. Brungard, demands judgment against the
Defendant, Debra A. Mason., in the amount of tenthousand seven hundred sixty seven
dollars and forty cents ($10,767.40), plus costs, and interest, which is less than the
amount requiring this case to be submitted to compulsory arbitration.
Respectfully submitted,

18. Denied. Again, the alleged date is incorrect so the allegation is denied. By
way of further answer, the Plaintiff, with Defendant's help removed Plaintiff's son and
herself and moved into the residence located at 806 Grantham, Road.
19. Admitted in part, denied in part. It is admitted that Defendant is Plaintiff's
mother; however it is denied that Plaintiff was in a "desperate situation" as alleged. By
way of further answer, Plaintiff and her boyfriend at the time, James Volpicelli agreed to
move into the Grantham Road residence on Christmas day 2009, but did not decide on
when the move would occur. On December 26, 2009, Defendant phoned Plaintiff and
advised her she and Mr. Volpicelli were moving into the residence on December 28,
2009, because that fit Defendant's schedule.
20. Denied. Defendant provided to Plaintiff a handwritten list of bills that
Plaintiff would be expected to pay, including real estate taxes on the property. Defendant
was not working and had not worked for over 10 years and needed Plaintiff's assistance
in paying bills associated with the residence.
21. Denied. James Volpicelli, Plaintiff's boyfriend at the time, moved into
the Grantham Road residence on December 28, 2009; the same day Plaintiff moved in.
As plead above, the decision to move into the Grantham Road residence was made on
Christmas Day between Plaintiff and Mr. Volpicelli in front of Defendant.
22. Denied. In April 2010, Mr. Volpicelli had put a hole in a wall at the
Grantham Road residence. Approximately one week later, Plaintiff and Mr. Volpicelli
arranged a meeting with Defendant and Robert Fetterolf, her paramour, to discuss the
damages and to question why Plaintiff and Mr. Volpicelli had to pay every bill associated
with the property, despite the fact that they were limited to a small section of the house.
23. Denied. At the end of the meeting which occurred in April 2010, not June
2010, Defendant advised Plaintiff and Mr. Volpicelli, that they would have to fix the wall
at their cost. Defendant also stated that if damage like that occurred again, Mr. Volpicelli
would have to remove himself from the property. The meeting was not a "confrontation"
as alleged, nor was Plaintiff told if she continued to allow Mr. Volpicelli to reside in the
residence that she would have to leave too.
24. Denied. Defendant never said a word to Plaintiff at the meeting that she
would have to leave or that she had 30 days to remove herself from the property.
25. Denied. James Volpicelli decided to move out of the property in June
2010 due to the ending of the relationship with the Plaintiff and the difficulties in dealing
with Defendant. By way of further answer, when Mr. Volpicelli moved out of the
property, Defendant would not let him remove any of his personal property. Defendant
advised Plaintiff and Mr. Volpicelli that if he did not give Plaintiff money to pay the rest
of the bills for that month, including property taxes, she was going to sell his belongings.
26. Denied. Mr. Volpicelli was not residing at the property on July 1, 2010.
By way of further answer, on July 1, 2010, Mr. Volpicelli came to the Grantham Road
residence to visit Plaintiff and his godson. He was not residing at the property as he had
moved out the prior month. Mr. Volpicelli did ask the Plaintiff if he could take some of
his personal belongings, such as his work clothing and shoes, because Defendant would
not let him take them when he had moved out the month before.
27. Denied. Late in the evening on July 1, 2010, Defendant stormed into the
residence and started screaming at Mr. Volpicelli, telling him to leave. Mr. Volpicelli
said ok and left the residence. After Mr. Volpicelli left, Defendant started screaming at
Plaintiff and ripping cable wires out of the wall that were plugged into Mr. Volpicelli's
television. Defendant carried on like this in front of Plaintiff s infant son. Defendant then
called the Upper Allen Township Police, and advised the responding officer that she
wanted Plaintiff and her infant son removed from the property. When the officers refused
to do this Defendant became increasingly agitated, and was advised to contact
Magisterial District Judge Martin and follow the appropriate civil process. Defendant left
the property only to return a short time later, screaming, pounding on the doors and
demanding she be let in to Plaintiffs bedroom. Plaintiff, out of fear of Defendant, had
barricaded herself and her sleeping infant son in the room. Plaintiff then called 911 and
Upper Allen Township Police officers responded and directed an irate Defendant to leave
the property or she would be arrested. On July 2, 2010, Plaintiff left the residence with
her infant son, to run some errands and look for another apartment. When she returned,
Defendant had changed all the locks and refused to let Plaintiff in to even retrieve her
son's baby food. By way of further answer, Defendants conduct resulted in Plaintiff s
issuance to her of a cease and desist with no contact letter from her prior counsel.
28. Admitted in part, denied in part. While it is admitted the Upper Allen
Township Police advised Defendant of the civil process before a magistrate to evict the
Plaintiff, it is denied that she followed that civil process before exercising self help and
locking the Plaintiff out of the residence.
COUNTERCLAIM I - CONVERSION
29. Paragraphs 1 through 28 of Plaintiff s Complaint and Reply to New
Matter are incorporated herein as if more fully set forth at length.
30. Admitted in part, denied in part. While it is admitted that Plaintiff entered
the residence between July 2, 2010 and July 25, 2010 to retrieve her personal belongings
and clothing, because she did not have these items since Defendant locked her out of the
property, it is denied that she took the items listed in paragraph 30, or if she did, it is
denied that they were hers. By way of further answer, When Plaintiff s grandparents
passed away, Plaintiff and her sister, Michelle Mason, inherited some of their belongings.
Ms. Mason inherited their grandfather's wedding band and some of her grandmother's
glass and crystal figurines along with the cabinet in which they were kept. Plaintiff
inherited their grandmother's wedding rings, and half her glass and crystal figurines.
Plaintiff obtained 10 such figurines, however they were the glass figurines Plaintiff had
bought for her grandmother or the ones she and her grandfather had picked out for her
grandmother.
From her grandfather, Plaintiff inherited copies of their wedding pictures
and his military flag presented at his funeral. These items were promised to her along
with along with two pictures and the frames they were in. Regarding the rings Plaintiff
inherited, Defendant asked Plaintiff to let her where the rings, and Plaintiff has not seen
them since, but wants them back as alleged in the Complaint in this matter. With regard
to the camera, Plaintiff has never seen the camera, and disputes the alleged value.
With regard to the tube of quarters, while living in the property,
Defendant asked Plaintiff and Mr. Volpicelli to move Defendant's bedroom furniture to
the garage. While moving furniture the plastic stick broke and Plaintiff placed the
quarters in a tin can and placed the can in Defendant's night stand, where she kept her
other loose change. Defendant was advised of this when it happened. Plaintiff has not
seen the quarters since.
With regard t the hunting equipment and tools, it is denied that Defendant
ever owned any hunting equipment, nor has the Plaintiff. Although Defendant's
paramour is a hunter, since he and the Defendant live at his residence, he keeps his
hunting equipment there and not at the Grantham Road property. Defendant has acquired
three fully stocked rolling tool boxes from her husband, James, a previous boyfriend,
Alan Steck, and his son, Justin Steck. Similar to the underlying case, Defendant retained
Mr. Steck's property when he moved out resulting in civil action being filed against
Defendant. Plaintiff has not taken any tools or equipment from the property belonging to
Defendant.
With regard to the Defendant's engagement ring, in June 2010,
Defendant's paramour, Robert, called Plaintiff to advise her Defendant had been drinking
and took some pills in an attempt to kill herself. He was calling Plaintiff asking what to
do as Defendant was unresponsive. Plaintiff advised to take her to the hospital. The next
day, Defendant called Plaintiff crying and told her Robert had thrown away her
engagement ring. Plaintiff had no access to this ring as Defendant wore the ring her
finger and did not live in the Grantham Road property or keep her jewelry there while
Plaintiff lived there.
31. Denied. See Answer to paragraph 30 above. By way of further answer,
Plaintiff did not remove anything from the property that did not belong to her. By way of
still further answer, Defendant did not raise these claims initially when Plaintiff s
complaint was heard by the magistrate.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Angela M. Brungard, demands judgment against the
Defendant, Debra A. Mason., as set forth in her Complaint.
COUNTERCLAIM II - TRESPASS TO CHATTELS
32. Paragraphs 1 through 31 of Plaintiff s Complaint, Reply to New Matter,
and Answer to Counterclaim Count I - Conversion are incorporated herein as if more
fully set forth at length.
33. Denied. Plaintiff never snuck into the Grantham Road property or broke
in, and never caused damage to any patio doors. Any time the Plaintiff entered the
property she used the garage door opener which Defendant had given to her.
34. Denied. Defendant already brought a civil action against Plaintiff for the
cost of the doors, and that claim was heard before Magistrate Martin. Judgment was
entered in Defendant's favor, and Plaintiff paid to Defendant the cost of judgment. No
appeal was filed. As a result, the matter has already been litigated and is not a valid
counterclaim in this pending case. By way of further answer, this claim is barred by the
doctrine of accord and satisfaction.
35. Denied. Plaintiff never damaged any Willow Tree statue belonging to the
Defendant.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Angela M. Brungard, demands judgment against the
Defendant, Debra A. Mason., as set forth in her Complaint.
