EDISON — Police charged Jodi Lynn Slade, 36, Piscataway, with aggravated assault after she allegedly attacked another woman’s car with a baseball bat in the parking lot of a warehouse on Fernwood Avenue on Saturday.
Township police officer Robert Dudash said that around 4:15 p.m. a 24-year-old female from South Plainfield was waiting with her 2-year-old son in a 2000 Nissan Altima to pick somebody up from work when Slade pulled up in her vehicle, got out and began attacking the woman’s car.
Dudash said Slade hit the bumper, windshield and rear passenger-side window of the Nissan with the bat before driving away in her 1993 Pontiac Bonneville.
Authorities believe the two women are involved in a feud of undetermined nature, Dudash said.
The 2-year-old suffered a minor cut on the ear from broken glass and was treated at the scene by emergency services personnel.
Slade was picked up by Piscataway police at 12:15 a.m. March 21 and transferred to the custody of Edison police.
Slade’s bail of $2,500 was posted in full, and she was released.
An additional charge of criminal mischief is pending against Slade, Dudash said.
