MOUNT PLEASANT

Woman sprayed with pepper spray

A 38-year-old woman was sprayed in the face with pepper spray just after 9 a.m. Dec. 3 near the intersection of North Newman Road and Highway 38.

According to Sheriff's Department reports, the woman was going to confront another motorist about a case of alleged road rage that began after both women were at Gifford Elementary on Highway K in the Franksville area.

According to the victim, her unknown assailant had been driving erratically and cutting her off since the two women left the school lot.

The victim said when she caught up with the suspect, she left her car, walked toward the suspect's vehicle and went to try the door handle of the other car. The suspect then threatened and ultimately sprayed the other woman.

The victim was taken by Mount Pleasant paramedics to Wheaton Franciscan-All Saints hospital, 3801 Spring St., for treatment of difficulty with breathing and eye irritation.

Deputies returned to the school later in the week to look for the suspect's vehicle, but they had not located the driver at the time the report was filed.

The woman's home is located in the 700 block of 17th Avenue. Issued tickets were a 14-year-old Union Grove boy, a 17-year-old Union Grove boy and a 15-year-old Caledonia boy.
