Des Moines Woman Reports Being Hit By Bratwurst


By Belinda Yeung

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a Des Moines woman has been assaulted with a bratwurst at her home.

Des Moines television station KCCI reports that the incident occurred Monday night.

Sixty-three-year-old Connie Jones told police that she got into an argument with 31-year-old Tajuana Banks.

Jones says Banks yelled profanities at her, then picked up a bratwurst and threw it at Jones. It struck her chest. A police report says there were grease marks on Jones' clothing.

A Des Moines phone number listed for Banks is incorrect. Online court records don't yet list the case.
