Winona woman accused of causing painful injury
Authorities in Winona are considering whether to charge a woman accused of grabbing a man by the genitals and yanking hard enough for him to need stitches.
Deputy Police Chief Tom Williams tells the Winona Daily News the 54-year-old woman faces possible charges of domestic assault, third-degree assault and interfering with a 911 call.
Officers were called Friday night to a domestic disturbance in Winona. Williams says the man pulled down his underwear for police and showed them a large tear on his genitals.
Williams says the woman denied grabbing the man, telling officers he had cut himself.
