Authorities say a Winchester woman attacked a local man at his home this week, beating him with a curtain rod and then using the alleged victim’s Les Paul guitar to break several windows in his mobile home.
Hope D. Tolle, 52, was arrested early Tuesday on preliminary charges of battery resulting in serious bodily injury, public intoxication, criminal mischief and criminal recklessness.
Authorities said Tolle went to the Kem Street home of a male acquaintance about 11:30 p.m. Monday, and first pushed a window air conditioner into his trailer after he refused to let her inside.
The man was treated at St. Vincent Randolph Hospital for head and facial injuries inflicted with the curtain rod.
A breath test measured Tolle’s blood-alcohol content at 0.08 percent, the legal standard of intoxicated for motorists in Indiana.
