By Ashley Crutcher
Batesville Municipal Judge Jay Westfaul heard a simple assault case Wednesday morning and found Scottoria Robinson of 411 Willa St., Batesville, guilty of simple assault, causing bodily injury to affiant Melissa Lloyd.
“I went to my mailbox and was jumped by her and two others. Another time she was blowing her horn around midnight and I asked her to stop because my child was trying to sleep,” said Lloyd.
“She told me if I wanna live like the white folks I need to move to the other side of town.”
Lloyd played a video for the court stating it was for a character reference. The video shows Robinson angry and using foul language.
