Salisbury Police charged a Salisbury woman with assault, saying she hit a man in the head with a small wooden bat early Sunday, sending him to the hospital.
Donna Renee Brown, 42, of 1210 W. Horah St., was charged with felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury and is being held in the Rowan County jail for 48 hours without bond.
The assault took place at Brown’s home, where she lived with the victim, Aaron Litaker.
