WELLS, Vt. — A 47-year-old Wells woman was arrested early Thursday on charges of domestic assault and resisting arrest after a family fight in Wells, Vermont State Police said Saturday.

Troopers from the state police barracks in Rutland were called at about 1:11 a.m. to a report of a family fight in the town, according to police.

Police said their investigation found that Jennifer Carson, 47, of Wells, caused pain and injury to a household member. Carson resisted as troopers arrested her, police said.

She was taken to the state police barracks in Rutland Town for processing and was held at the Marble Valley Correctional Facility for lack of $1,000 bail, according to state police.

Carson was scheduled to appear at 12:30 p.m. Thursday in Vermont Superior Court, Rutland Criminal Division. The release did not say what happened at that hearing.

State police did not identify the household member, in keeping with the agency's practice of not naming victims of domestic violence, and did not describe the injuries.

The charges are allegations, and Carson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
