Felony assault: Woman charged after beating disabled woman with board in Rehoboth Beach

Yesterday, police in the State of Delaware reported on the arrest of a woman who was taken into custody for a felony assault that went down in Rehoboth.  Delaware State Police announced the arrest of 31-year-old Brienne Wildy of Lewes, Delaware, for felony assault plus additional charges following an incident that occurred in Rehoboth Beach on Valentine’s Day.

Police said that on February 14 at approximately 11:00 a.m., troopers responded to a residence on the 37000 block of Burton Avenue regarding a trespassing complaint. Troopers spoke with the 63-year-old homeowner, who told them that his acquaintance, Brienna Wildy, had gone into his shed without his permission, despite her not being welcome on his property.

Troopers learned that Wildy also confronted a disabled 57-year-old woman at the shed. Wildy attacked the woman with a wooden board, causing swelling on her arm. Wildy continued arguing with the homeowner after the assault until troopers arrived at the scene.  ~ Delaware State Police

The Cape Gazette reported Sr. Cpl. Leonard DeMalto of the Delaware State Police as confirming that the woman Wildy assaulted was 57 and disabled, and that the assault caused swelling to the woman’s arm.

Following the assault, Wildy left the scene, but Troopers managed to catch up with her.  She had fled the area on foot, and was only a short distance away from where she was reportedly causing trouble on Burton Avenue.  She was detained and arrested and transported to the local Troop 7 State Trooper headquarters.

Following her arrest, Wildy was charged with the following crimes:

• Burglary Second Degree (Felony)
• Assault Second Degree (Felony)
• Aggravated Menacing

Wildy was arraigned by a Justice of the Peace in Court 2, and then released on $5,000 unsecured bond.
