Marion woman charged in domestic assault involving hand lantern

A domestic incident in Marion left one person injured and another facing felony charges after deputies say a woman struck someone in the head with a hand lantern.

Wayne County Sheriff’s deputies arrested 29-year-old Jessica Martinez on Nov. 23 after responding to a home on Buffalo Street around 7 a.m.


According to investigators, the victim had a visible head laceration when deputies arrived. They say Martinez used a hand lantern to hit the victim during the altercation.

She was charged with second-degree assault and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon.

Martinez was arraigned later that evening at Wayne County CAP Court and remains in custody as the case moves forward.
