Courtney Dillon, 33, was charged with aggravated assault and will make her next court appearance Thursday.

In an unrelated case, a man who allegedly attacked another man with a hammer and an axe is on the run from police.

The incident happened Monday morning in the 700 block of Fourth St. E. Police said the victim and the accused know each other, but they are not releasing the suspect’s name at this time as no actual charges have been laid.
