A Richmond man was arrested Wednesday for allegedly beating a man with a lamp.
Police officers were called Tuesday to the 1100 block of Race Street to investigate a report of an assault, according to a press release from Sgt. Willard Reardon of the Richmond Police Department.
When officers arrived, they found a male victim — bleeding from a head wound — who said he had been attacked with a lamp by 26-year-old Jeremy Campbell.
The victim was sent to Pattie A. Clay Regional Medical Center, where he was treated for a laceration to his scalp and a possible concussion, the press release said. He later was released.
Campbell, of E. Main Street, surrendered the next day to police and was charged with second-degree assault.
He was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center where he is being held in lieu of a $2,500 cash bond.
Theft arrest
Jennifer Spears, 31, of Ole Daniel Boone Road, was arrested Thursday in connection with the unlawful use of a credit card.
On Tuesday, a complainant told police that his Visa card had been unlawfully used at Walmart to purchase approximately $204 in goods.
“Investigation revealed that Spears had unlawfully obtained the victim’s Visa card and utilized it to make the charges at Walmart,” the RPD press release said.
Spears was charged with fraudulent use of a credit card and was lodged in the Madison County Detention Center, where she was later released.
