Three people charged in connection with aggravated assault

Lethbridge Police have charged three people in connection with an incident where a male was assaulted in a southside yard.

On March 26, at approximately 8 p.m., police responded to a report of a group of people fighting in the backyard of a residence along the 1000 block of 12 Street South. Upon arrival, officers located an injured 35-year-old male in the alley. He was transported to hospital by EMS with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries. Subjects inside the home refused to exit and police subsequently obtained and executed a warrant to enter. Six people were taken into custody without incident and during a search, police seized a shovel and baseball bat believed to have been used in the assault.

The investigation determined the parties involved are known to one another.

Tiffany Joy Hood, 45, of Lethbridge, is charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of an offensive weapon.

Jocko Slade Trotter, 36, of Lethbridge, is charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon and possession of an offensive weapon.

All three subjects were remanded in custody to appear in court today.

In addition, a 29-year-old female was charged with matters unrelated to the assault and two other females were released without charges.
