On July 15, deputies with the sheriff’s department responded to the area of County Road 251 for a report of a burglary in progress. The reporting party notified 911 that a female was in his shop, stealing personal property.

While deputies were en route to the residence in question, the female suspect, identified as Jennifer Bramlett, 43, attempted to flee the scene in her vehicle, according to the sheriff’s department.

According to the sheriff’s department, the victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Bramlett was arrested for Commercial Burglary and Aggravated Assault and was taken to the Lafayette County Detention Center.
