Woman Convicted in Front of Rooxville Home Fracas
In a Cranston court, Mrs Lena Myers was found guilty of assault and battery in a fracas outside a Rooxville home involving her sister in law Elaine Stevens. Stevens testified Myers cursed her and pulled her hair, cutting her arm with a penknife. Myers denied the knife injuries, claiming car door glass caused cuts. Hallman was convicted of assault and battery in a separate case, with sentence suspended, and Myers’ trial had tied to a broader set of charges as prosecutors pursued related rape and larceny cases.
