Jones
VAN WERT — A Defiance woman pleaded guilty last Wednesday in the Van Wert County Common Pleas Court to a misdemeanor count of domestic violence and was sentenced to two years of probation, 30 days of jail at a later date, 26 hours of community service, and mental health and substance abuse assessment and treatment.
Summer Jones, 34, was indicted on two counts of attempted murder, two counts of felonious assault, two counts of aggravated assault and one count of domestic violence for an incident that occurred on April 4. With the guilty plea, all charges were dismissed besides domestic violence.
Court documents show that police responded to a home in the 300 block of North Race Street, Van Wert, after receiving a report that someone had been run over by a car. It was learned that Jones was the driver of the vehicle that allegedly struck two victims.
A probable cause affidavit stated one of the alleged victims received a text message from a phone number associated with Jones that day. The message stated, in part, “There is a special place in hell for home wrecking bitches like you. Let me hear you were at my house around my (expletive) kids one more time cause it will be your last day on this (expletive) earth.”
One of the victims was treated at a local hospital for visible injuries, according to court records.
