A fight

over a $5 loan has resulted in one teenager being

seriously injured and another arrested, according to

police reports.

Jerome

Thomas Fochtman, 16, was arrested on aggravated battery

charges after the Sept. 30 incident, which saw Tim

Vanmeter, 17, receive "permanent disfiguring bodily

harm" due to repeated blows on the left side of his

face, the police report stated.

Vanmeter

had lent Fochtman $5 the week before the fight, the

report said, and harsh words had been exchanged over

several days when Vanmeter tried to collect on the debt.

Vanmeter went to Fochtman's home after school on the day

of the incident, and that was when the fight took place,

police said.

Vanmeter

suffered "a blackened eye and substantial bruising

in the area of the eye and right upper jaw area,"

reports indicated.

The family

initially was unsure about filing charges, fearing a

possible backlash against the victim, but then decided to

pursue the case, saying that Vanmeter was set up so that

he would come to Fochtman's home and could be attacked,

police said.
