Jonesboro, AR – (JonesboroRightNow.com) – July 15, 2024 – Jonesboro police were called to the Kensington Estates subdivision about a disturbance over the weekend. When officers arrived at an address on Charleston, they found an elderly woman bleeding from her arms and legs.

According to the police report, she claimed to have been physically attacked by her son’s girlfriend, who was also a resident in the home.

The victim told officers that she and the girlfriend had been arguing throughout that day, and when she had turned to walk away from a heated verbal interaction, the girlfriend pushed her from behind, causing her to fall into a ceramic decoration that caused cuts and bruising on her arms and legs.

The 51-year-old girlfriend was taken into custody without incident. Her bond was set at $25,000 c/s and she’s required to wear an ankle monitor due to a No Contact Order between her and the victim.

The victim is 71 years old.
