A Vicksburg woman was found guilty of aggravated assault Tuesday in Warren County Circuit Court following a two-day trial.

Latonya O’Neil, 25, 1405-B Hayes St., will be sentenced Jan. 7 by presiding Judge Isadore Patrick. She faces 20 years in prison.

O’Neil was accused of stabbing and beating with a baseball bat a man who had been baby-sitting her daughter.

Assistant District Attorney Dewey Arthur said O’Neil attacked the man in an attempt to take the man’s wallet. The victim suffered a dislocated finger, broken teeth, slashes on his arms and a stab wound from a pair of scissors.

Testifying in her own defense, O’Neil claimed she acted in self-defense, Arthur said.

The jury of nine women and three men deliberated for about two hours before returning the guilty verdict, he said.

In another case, Patrick postponed the sentencing of Kristin Walter, 26, 7094 Oak Ridge Road, until Thursday at 9 a.m. Walter was initially scheduled for sentencing Friday. She pleaded no contest Nov. 19 to felony child abuse, and faces a possible 20 years in prison and $10,000 fine.
