Woman charged with domestic abuse assault

Lingard

A local woman was arrested by Marshalltown police and taken to Marshall County Jail on a domestic abuse assault charge – injury or mental illness, according to a criminal complaint and affidavit filed recently in Marshall County District Court.

Jan Marie Lingard, 55, was told to leave a residence but got into a physical altercation with the victim, according to the complaint and affidavit filed in Marshall County District Court. After her arrest, the defendant requested she be allowed to bring her purse to jail. The purse was searched and a pill in a clear baggie was found. The pill was identified as a schedule IV medication the defendant didn’t have a prescription for.

A magistrate issued a no contact order against the defendant at her initial appearance to protect the victim. Additionally, the defendant was appointed a public defender. Her preliminary hearing is set for May 21.
