Woman arrested in attack at Village of Sabal Chase later left two jail employees with lacerations

Christy Dawn Hinkle

A woman arrested in an attack Saturday at the Village of Sabal Chase later left two jail employees with lacerations.

Sumter County sheriff’s deputies were called at 12:50 a.m. to a home on Summerton Street where 42-year-old Christy Dawn Hinkle bit a man and scratched him with her fingernails, according to an arrest report. She was intoxicated, the report noted.

The man, who is over the age of 65, suffered “several lacerations and deep scratches to his arms and torso,” a deputy wrote in the report.

Hinkle had been released on $25,000 bond on April 7 after assaulting an emergency responder in Iredell County, North Carolina.

As she was being booked at the Sumter County Detention Center, Hinkle became combative with the detention center staff. She broke the skin on each of the deputies’ right arms.

She is facing three charges of felony battery.
