The Montezuma County Sheriff\u2019s Office was dispatched to a residential disturbance on County Road 25.3 just before 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 19.<\/p>\n

In a two-page report, a deputy noted that Sylvia Smith, the homeowner, attacked two female victims, age 35 and 54, hitting and kicking them before assaulting them with a baseball bat. She also smashed the automobile of another eyewitness with the bat.<\/p>\n

According to authorities, the 35-year-old victim had gone to the residence to retrieve some of her belongings. The following day, a deputy escorted her back to the scene for a civil standby.<\/p>\n

In another report, deputies noted that the younger victim had lived at the residence in exchange for caring for the homeowner\u2019s animals. The women reportedly became close friends.<\/p>\n

Currently under a court-issued restraining order, Smith was arrested and charged with two counts of third-degree assault. Records reveal Smith is out of custody under bond.<\/p>\n

The victim also reported damaged or missing property, including a lost rat, valued at more than $850.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
