A township woman was arrested over the weekend after a report that she assaulted her disabled husband, according to police.

Roseanne Ingram, 36, of Wolosyn Circle was jailed Saturday on charges of domestic violence and assault.

According to the report, township police were dispatched to a Wolosyn Circle apartment shortly before 4 p.m. Saturday in reference to a domestic dispute.

There, a man told police that his wife, Ingram, assaulted him after he confronted her about her drug abuse. He reported that Ingram again assaulted him and hung up the phone when he attempted to call 911.

Police reported observing an injury on the man’s face, which he said was due to Ingram “hitting him with a closed fist several times,” according to the report.

The report noted that the man is a paraplegic and does not have full use of his hands.

It also noted that the man is confined to bed rest, and that Ingram is his primary caretaker.

Ingram is scheduled to appear in Mahoning County Area Court here today, according to the report.
