MOBILE, Ala. — A 74-year-old Mobile woman was arrested over the weekend after police say she assaulted a man with a glass bottle, according to the Mobile Police Department.
Officers responded to the 500 block of Marine Street around 3:23 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 1, for a report of an assault, MPD said in a news release. When officers arrived, they found a man with non-life-threatening injuries who was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
During the investigation, officers learned the man was struck by a woman he knew, who allegedly hit him with a glass bottle, according to police.
Dicy Jones, 74, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault. She was booked into Mobile County Metro Jail.
Under Alabama law, second-degree assault is a Class C felony that generally applies when a person causes serious physical injury to another, or causes physical injury using a deadly weapon or dangerous instrument. As is standard, the charge reflects an accusation only; Jones is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in court.
