On Thursday, officers were called to a residence about a disturbance. The suspect had returned to pick up some property when the 58-year-old female victim was punched in the face and bitten several times by the suspect.  

On Sunday, officers located the suspect and took her into custody.

During the investigation, officers learned the suspect was also wanted in connection with an incident on Oct. 13, when the suspect was asked to leave a residence. The suspect grabbed the 21-year-old victim’s hair, slapped her glasses off and pushed her into a wall before fleeing.

The woman was arrested and charged with:

  • Assault Causing Bodily Harm x2

  • Fail to Comply with Probation Order x2

The accused was held in custody and appeared in court on Monday.
