WILMINGTON — The Wilmington Police Department arrested a female suspect after an early morning fight led to a vehicle crashing into a Wilmington home.
Around 3 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 1, officers were dispatched to Tara Court in response to reports of a fight. Witnesses claim a female suspect was chasing a male with a metal baseball bat. Both suspects left the area.
According to WPD spokeswoman Jennifer Dandron, before officers left the scene they received another call about a car crashing into a residence on South 41st street.
When officers arrived on the scene they determined that the female driving the vehicle was the same one allegedly chasing the male with a bat and the male passenger was the victim from the same incident.
Officers said the female, Deja Monique Dyson, 23, confronted her boyfriend, Vann McDonald, and struck him multiple times in the face with the metal baseball bat.
Dyson was taken into WPD custody and McDonald was taken to New Hanover Regional Medical Center.
According to the New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, Dyson has been charged with assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.
