GRAHAM COUNTY — A woman who claimed she was assaulted by her son found herself behind bars.
Graham County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to an apartment on West 8th Street after the woman contacted dispatch. She said her son doesn’t like her boyfriend, and the son became violent after her boyfriend arrived at the apartment, striking her multiple times in the face and in the ribs.
She said her son left the apartment on foot, and she threw a rock at his head, though she didn’t know if he was struck. An attempt by deputies to locate the son was unsuccessful.
A records check found the woman had an outstanding warrant for her arrest on charges of assault and failure to comply.
The woman was taken into custody and, due to her apparent intoxication, was first transported to Mt. Graham Regional Medical Center to be medically cleared before being booked into Graham County Jail.
