Backyard argument turns violent as woman allegedly dislocates man’s shoulder

A St Mary man reportedly got more than he bargained for when he confronted a woman allegedly talking in his backyard, with the argument ending after she reportedly struck him with a metal object and dislocated his shoulder.

Charged in connection with the incident is 36-year-old Simone Simmonds, a helper of Hamilton Mountain, St Mary.

Reports from the Port Maria Police are that about 9 a.m. on Tuesday, July 28, the man was at home when he heard Simmonds talking in his backyard.

He reportedly went outside and told Simmonds to leave his property.

However, the situation allegedly escalated into an argument, during which Simmonds reportedly used a metallic object to strike the man on his right shoulder.

The blow allegedly caused his shoulder to become dislocated.

The injured man was taken to hospital by a relative, where he was treated and later discharged.

Simmonds was subsequently arrested and charged with Assault Occasioning Grievous Bodily Harm after a statement was recorded.

Her court date is pending.
