JONESBORO, Ark. — A woman faces a felony battery charge after Jonesboro police say another woman reported being struck in the face and forearm with a bat while trying to pick up her child.
Alexis Ellisen faces charges of second-degree battery, a Class D felony, and first-degree criminal mischief, a Class A misdemeanor, according to Craighead County court records.
The woman told police she drove to the home Ellisen shared with the woman’s former boyfriend on Nov. 10 to pick up her 4-year-old child, according to a probable cause affidavit. She said Ellisen came outside swinging a bat as she drove down the street and struck her in the face through the open vehicle window.
The woman said she tried to grab the bat and roll up her window. According to the affidavit, she told police Ellisen struck her in the forearm and then hit the vehicle several times, damaging the windshield and body.
The woman drove to the Jonesboro Police Department to report the incident. Emergency medical personnel evaluated and treated her there. Officers said they saw a cut on the bridge of her nose that was consistent with her account.
Special Judge Barbara Halsey found probable cause for Ellisen’s arrest Thursday and set bond at $30,000. The first-appearance paperwork lists Ellisen’s next court date as Jan. 25 at 8:30 a.m. at the Craighead County Courthouse in Jonesboro.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
