Charleston attack leads to arrest
Monday, April 13, 2009 |
Coos County deputies, Oregon State Police and Coquille Tribal Police arrested a Coos Bay woman Sunday after a man was stabbed and an officer was kicked.
A few minutes after 8 p.m., deputies, officers and troopers responded to a report of a woman who had assaulted two men with a knife at 63303 Boat Basin Road in Charleston. Coos Bay residents 38-year-old Robert Rickman and 34-year-old Bobby Sherman told police they’d been threatened with a knife. Sherman had been stabbed in the hand but refused medical attention.
Officers then contacted 43-year-old woman at the address and she kicked an officer, a Coos County Sheriff’s Office press release said. Police arrested Aileen Hamas on charges of second-degree assault, two counts of attempted use/carrying a dangerous weapon, first-degree burglary and assault on a public safety officer.
Hamas was taken to the Coos County jail where she remained this morning on $225,000 bail.
