A woman is accused of hitting a man with rocks and an exhaust pipe after an argument. On Tuesday night at 9 p.m., Humboldt County Sheriff’s deputies responded to the 5000 block of Valley West Blvd. in Arcata for an assault that had taken place. They found an elderly man who had been having a verbal spat with 34-year-
old Andrea Lynn Russell. When the victim exited the tent and attempted to leave, he said Russell began
striking him. The victim was transported to a local hospital and treated for non-life threatening injuries.
Russell was arrested and booked into the Humboldt County Correctional Facility on charges of
assault with a deadly weapon other than a firearm, elder abuse and revocation of probation.
