A contest to see who could catch the most sweets turned sour when police said a fistfight broke out between two sisters during Monday’s Memorial Day parade in Wood Dale. Pamela Majdan, 23, of 385 N. Wood Dale Road, was charged with domestic battery Monday afternoon after police say she repeatedly beat her sister Joyce Majdan during a fight over who caught the most pieces of candy during the parade.

Joyce Majdan, 31, of the same address, was charged with attempted obstruction of justice after police said she refused to give them her identity or any other information during their investigation.

Wood Dale Deputy Police Chief Greg Vesta said officers securing the parade route were told of the fight and separated the women, in front of their apartment building, just after noon Monday.

“Basically, these two women were watching the parade when an argument broke out over which one of them caught the most pieces of Twizzlers,” Vesta said. “Unfortunately, the argument ended with both sisters throwing several punches and (Joyce Majdan) receiving a welt on the side of her head.”

Both women were arrested, Vesta said, before it could be decided who indeed had caught the most candy.

Vesta said there was no alcohol involved. He said both women were uncooperative as they were being arrested.

“It’s unfortunate that a such a large crowd of people, at a parade to remember men and women who gave their lives for this country, had to witness this,” Vesta said.

Authorities said Pamela Majdan posted $300 bail Tuesday morning and was released from DuPage County Jail. Joyce Majdan posted $100 at the Wood Dale Police Department and was released Monday afternoon.

Upon her release from the county jail, Vesta said Pamela Majdan was warned to stay away from their apartment for 72 hours or else she would forfeit her bond and be taken back into custody.

Vesta said police responded to a verbal dispute at the women’s prior residence in 1998 but no arrests were made.

No listed phone number was found for the sisters’ home, and neither could be reached for comment.
