Sadie Gurman of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that Kenneth R. Melani, 58, the CEO of Highmark, Inc., has been charged with assault and defiant trespass after a fistfight with Mark Myler, the husband of the mistress he hired to work at Highmark. On Sunday, when Myler returned from the apartment she shared with Dr. Melani (he moved out after his wife busted him) to speak to her husband, Melani showed up and accused her of cheating on him with her spouse.

Oakmont Officer David Brankley quoted Dr. Melani saying "It's all about my money," in a criminal complaint... [Brankley also said] Dr. Melani agreed to have paramedics respond, because, he told the officer, "it would be a good idea if he was going to sue."

     Mr. Myler, 49, who had cuts on his face and legs, was not charged.

     ...After the scuffle, police said, an officer overheard Dr. Melani making phone calls to attorneys in which he said "something to the effect that if police hadn't been there he would have killed the Mylers."

     ...Mrs. Myler discovered after living with Dr. Melani for two months that he had hired a private detective to investigate her... Officer Brankley wrote, "He asked me in an emotional voice if I had ever had a relationship that was everything to me, and I declined to discuss that with him."

     ...In her husband's presence, Dr. Melani called Mrs. Myler a "slut" and accused her of "a conspiracy."

Mrs. Myler is a graduate of Slippery Rock University.
