A Boone County judge sentenced a Columbia woman to five years of supervised probation after she pleaded guilty to second-degree assault.
Trinity Carleton, 20, was sentenced in court on June 1. She originally pleaded not guilty to the charge against her during her arraignment on May 4.
Carleton was arrested after a March 27 incident where she and Kennadie George, 19, were reportedly meeting the victim at 4201 Clark Lane, Lot 54, according to a probable cause statement.
Carleton helped George as she was punching a victim's face and slamming them into a rock flower bed, according to court documents.
A witness reported that Carleton held the victim down so that George could hit the victim's face, according to the statement. The victim reported that George then picked them up and slammed them onto the pavement 20 times. Court documents said the victim told police that both Carleton and George proceeded to drag them to a rock flower bed, and they both slammed the victim's head against the rocks.
The witness also reported the victim was bleeding from their nose and mouth, and the victim decided they needed to go to the hospital, according to the probable cause statement.
Another witness who drove Carleton and George to meet the victim recorded the fight, according to the probable cause statement. That witness claims they didn't know that Carleton and George would fight the victim.
The video shows George on top of the victim, hitting them repeatedly, picking them up and slamming the victim back on the floor, according to the statement. The video also shows both George and Carleton yelling at the victim.
When law enforcement arrived on the scene, an officer reported the victim bleeding from the nose and mouth, a bruise under their left eye, scratches across their back and a half inch-long laceration on the back left of their head which was actively bleeding, according to the probable cause statement.
