Two Sallisaw women are facing assault charges after being accused of assaulting a minor.

Alicia Wilson, 18, and Nichole Julstead, 29, both of Sallisaw, were each charged Friday with felony assault with a dangerous weapon and misdemeanor assault and battery, according to court records.

Sallisaw Police Officer DeShawna Barron reported that at 10:45 p.m. Aug. 21 she was dispatched to the police department about an assault. She spoke to the victim who said she and a friend were at a barbecue for the football team and were taking pictures for the school newspaper when she asked her dad if she and her friend could leave and go to the store. While the two were attempting to leave, the alleged victim, a minor, said that Jesus Silos swerved his car in front of her friend's car and cut them off so that they could not go anywhere.

Nicole Julstead and Alicia Wilson then allegedly got out of the car with a ball bat and knife. Wilson allegedly hit the window of the car, telling the victim to exit the vehicle. The girl said she opened the car door, and Wilson grabbed her by the hooded shirt and threw her onto the ground and continued to hit her.

Barron reported the victim had a red mark across the back of her neck, and bruising on her nose and left eye. The girl told police this problem had been going on for a while and that Julstead had shown up the first day of school, starting problems.

Barron advised the parent of the girl that she needed to think about getting a protective order.

After an experiment that lasted several months, the editors at Your TIMES decided this week to end the practice of allowing anonymous comments on our website because most of the comments involve personal attacks and unfounded accusations. These comments do not add information to a story, or add any true insight. While we believe in the free exchange of ideas, it had become evident that was not what was happening in the comment section of our website. Readers can also become fans of Your TIMES on Facebook and may comment on our postings there. Readers are also encouraged to write letters to the editor to the newspaper about matters of public interest. The newspaper circulation is several times that of the web site, so readership is much higher. Letters must include a name and phone number so that we may contact the writer to verify authenticity of the letter. Letters are limited to 500 words and one letter per writer per month is accepted.
