57-YEAR-OLD WOMAN ALLEGES HER DAUGHTER-IN-LAW BEAT HER WITH A PISTOL

On Friday last week, patrol officer Jacob Zimmerman spoke to a woman on the phone regarding an assault that had occurred on November 17th. Officer Zimmerman traveled to Oak Grove Street to talk to her. He was then informed that the caller had been pistol-whipped by her daughter-in-law.

The caller alleged that on the night of November 17th at around 9:00 p.m., she was arguing with her son over the care of their pets. The caller went to her bedroom to calm down but her daughter-in-law followed her up to the bedroom and stood in the doorway holding a rose-gold-colored 9mm pistol across her chest.

The caller stood up and told the daughter-in-law to get out of the way and pushed her out of the door frame. However, after doing this, the daughter-in-law is claimed to have started to beat the caller over the head and body with the pistol.

The caller’s son heard the commotion and pulled the daughter-in-law off of his mother and set her in a recliner. The caller then pressed her lifeline button twice. The caller alleges that her son and daughter-in-law started to say out loud that she fell so the lifeline intercom would hear them.

She was transported by EMS to Cumberland Medical Center for her injuries and returned home the next day at around 5:00 a.m. Her son and daughter-in-law were gone at the time, and she hasn’t seen them since. The caller also noted that her front door camera was unplugged when she came home.

The caller said that she didn’t report the incident sooner because she was scared that her daughter-in-law would hurt her if she reported it and didn’t want to get her son in trouble. Officer Zimmerman spoke to a neighbor who said that she had seen the daughter-in-law brandish the same rose gold pistol on several occasions. While speaking to the caller, Officer Zimmerman noticed a cut above her eye and several bruises on her face and body as well as a cut on the top of her head that she claims she needed to get staples for at the hospital.

Do you do a lack of evidence, the lapse in time since the incident, and not having spoken to the daughter-in-law, no charges were pressed at this time.
