A 51-year-old Bunnell woman has been charged with aggravated battery with a deadly weapon after allegedly hitting another woman with a shovel.
The incident happened Feb. 17, when the victim was visiting someone who lived on a property in the 1700 block of Candleberry Street in Bunnell.
The 51-year-old woman also lived there, and came out of a trailer on the property and began yelling at the victim, the victim later told deputies.
When the 51-year-old came out of the trailer a second time to yell, the victim tried to walk past her, but the 51-year-old woman grabbed a shovel and hit the victim several times in the arms and once in the leg, leaving bruises, according to the victim's account in an arrest report.
The 51-year-old woman told deputies that the victim had been threatening to burn down her trailer and had grabbed her arm. Deputies did not see any injuries on the suspect’s arm.
The other resident, who witnessed the fight, said the suspect had been yelling at the victim to get off her property before swinging the shovel at her.
Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrested the suspect and took her to the county jail.
