LUZERNE — A woman is facing charges after police say she assaulted a man and fought with and kicked an officer Friday.
Luzerne Borough Police say Carol Daubert, 50, of Wyoming, was shocked with a stun gun after she assaulted William Fox near Heffron’s Mini Mart on Union Street, then physically fought with Officer Alexandra Simonitis.
Police say they were called to Heffron’s at approximately 6:35 p.m.
When officers arrived, they were flagged down by Fox. Officer Simonitis observed blood on his ear, authorities report.
