A Sampson Lake-area woman was sentenced to a year’s probation after pleading to throwing a punch at a woman, then grabbing her and ripping her shirt.
Christina Ann Boyd, 47, pleaded to the July 24 offense of resisting an officer without violence and to the Aug. 2 offense of battery.
According to court papers, on July 24, deputies said the victim told them she had just moved from Oregon to help Boyd care for her ailing grandfather.
“The victim stated that she woke up from a nap and Christina was being very drunk and belligerent toward her, so she walked outside,” wrote reporting officer Paul Moody Jr., adding that the defendant followed the victim and yanked her hair. The victim added that Boyd was intoxicated and tried to lock the victim’s boyfriend in a semi-trailer. The Oregon woman added that Boyd put a knife to the victim’s wrist.
When deputies arrived, they found Boyd hiding under the semi-trailer.
In the Aug. 2 incident, deputies reported that the same victim stopped the intoxicated 47-year-old from strangling the victim’s dog, and in response, Boyd took a swing at the woman. However, the victim blocked the punch. Boyd then grabbed her while falling to the ground, ripping the victim’s shirt.
