Oakland City man charged with battery Oakland City Police arrest- ed William Lark Taylor, 50, of Oakland City, on charges of domestic battery causing se- rious bodily injury after they responded to a 911 call of an elderly woman falling from her bicycle and hitting her head. According to the proba- ble cause affidavit, around 5 p.m. May 23 police arrived on Harrison Street to assist Theresa McFeters, who told them she'd been pushed by Taylor, her boyfriend, who sent her for cigarettes then accused her of cheating when she went to get them. McFeters left for a walk to get away, and Taylor alleged- ly followed her on his bicycle continuing to argue. He then threw a cup at McFeters, rode up beside her, yanked her backpack backwards caus- ing it to tear and her to fall and strike her head on the sidewalk. According to police, blood was present on her face, cheeks, eyes and up to her hairline. She had a knot and laceration above her left eye. A passerby tried to aid the woman, but left because Tay- lor continued being belliger- ent and abusive, according to police. Witnesses inside a vehi- cle 100 yards away heard the screaming as well. Taylor told police, post-Mi- randa warning, that he did not hit her, but did grab and tear her backpack. Man accused of attempting to run over sister Larry Hensley faces mul- tiple charges in association with a string of incidents be- ginning April 15 with an inci- dent of criminal recklessness with a deadly weapon.

The sister of Hensley told police he had torn up the house then attempted to run her over with his vehicle. Tire marks were visible down the driveway then a Frontier Com- munications telephone box and Marshall Disposal trash can were destroyed. Hensley's mother and sis- ter took out temporary pro- tective orders that were then, according to the Sheriff's Of- fice affidavit, violated on April 24, when Hensley allegedly called his sister from Cros- spointe and left a voicemail that if she appeared in court April 25 or took his dog to be neutered she would be arrest- ed. He left another voicemail saying she owed him $40,000. Police advised Crosspointe of the protective order.
