A Raymond woman has been indicted after allegedly attacking her juvenile son and disabled husband.
The Union County Grand Jury has indicted Lucinda Kay Stinemetz, 44, of 21962 Route 347. Stinemetz is charged with two counts of domestic violence.
According to court documents, on Dec. 17, the Union County Sheriff’s Office was called to the Route 347 home on a report of domestic violence.
Investigators determined Stinemetz punched both her husband and her son.
Stinemetz told investigators she “decked” her son.
“I punched him in the face, I’m not going to say I didn’t do it because I did do it, I punched him in the face,” Stinemetz told investigators, according to court documents.
She said she hit her husband in the face while he was sitting on the couch.
Both the husband and son had injuries according to the court documents.
Domestic violence is charged as a misdemeanor, however, once an individual has a conviction for domestic violence or child endangering, future allegations are charged as felonies.
Stinemetz has a par of prior child endangering convictions.
Also indicted was:
– Lexus Nicole Becker, 27, of Columbus. Becker is charged with receiving stolen property.
According to court documents, on Sept. 25, Becker and “a group of females” went to the TJ Maxx in Jerome Township. According to court documents, the woman “loaded clothing/items into a shopping cart, left the store without paying, loaded a car with stolen items, and fled from TJ Maxx.”
On Oct. 3, Becker and the women returned to the store. Store officials contacted law enforcement officials who responded to the store.
The woman admitted to investigators this was not her first time stealing from the store.
According to court documents, “Becker claimed she thieves because her kids need clothes.”
Even so, Becker told police she wasn’t intending to steal the clothes on this trip and she intended to buy them. Investigators noted she had no credit cards and $180 in cash, but had more than $500 worth of merchandise.
When police searched Becker’s car they found more than $1,000 in merchandise from the store as well and merchandise from other stores, some of which still had security tags on it.
If convicted, Becker could face as many as 12 months in prison.
– David S. Foreman, 47, and Nicole Ann Lawson, 29, both of Marion, each charged with one count of burglary, theft and vandalism.
According to court documents, on April 15, video surveillance shows Foreman and Lawson were in the local Rural King store after it closed. Once everyone was out of the store, the pair got a cart and loaded items including chainsaws, tool kits, shop vacuums, tools and other merchandise into the cart.
Foreman then took a pair of bolt cutters, using them to cut open a locked door so the pair could get out of the store.
“Foreman and Nicole Lawson pushed the cart through the formerly locked doors and into the Rural King parking lot,” according to court documents. “Foreman and Lawson loaded the items from the cart into a waiting car.”
If convicted, Foreman and Lawson could each face a decade in prison.
