MUNCIE, Ind. — A Muncie woman is under arrest after police were called to an apartment and discovered a naked man bleeding profusely from his head.
Nakota Bennett, 30, was arrested early Wednesday on preliminary charges of battery with a deadly weapon, a Level 3 felony.
According to court documents, Bennett was at a man's apartment in the 1200 block of E. Main Street when she allegedly struck him upside the head with a piece of rebar.
Police arrived at the scene and found the man, who was naked, covered in blood from a wound on his head. The victim told police that Bennett had struck him with the rebar after he asked her to leave because he had to get up in the morning for work.
The man reportedly had obtained the rebar from a construction site near his apartment.
Court records show Bennett is currently facing three pending criminal charges for separate incidents including theft and resisting law enforcement.
Charges for the battery have not yet been officially filed.
If charged and convicted of a Level 3 felony, Bennett could face up to 16 years in prison.
