Woman accused of attacking man with sharpened tree branch

A Spokane woman is accused of using a sharpened tree branch and knife to attack a man she lives with. Molly M. Kelly, 33, and Kevin V. Mock, 51, both face second-degree assault charges for attacking a man at his home in Logan on Thursday afternoon. The victim told police he was at home when Kelly began yelling at him and damaged his front door. He said Kelly tried to stab him with a tree branch that had been sharpened to a point, according to court documents. A witness told police he heard the victim say, “What are you going to do, hit me with a crowbar?” The victim told police Mock hit him in the head with a crowbar, knocking him to the ground. Kelly then allegedly held a kitchen knife to his throat, court documents say. The victim ran across the street and stayed there until police arrived. According to court documents, Kelly told police she lived with the victim and said they had gotten into an argument. She claimed the victim hit her with the crowbar first. The relationship between Kelly, Mock and the victim was not clear in court documents.
