JOHNSTON, R.I. -- Police charged a 48-year-old Providence woman with felony assault Friday after she allegedly drove her car into one belonging to a woman claiming to have a romantic relationship with her husband.
Alma Guzman, of 38 Swift St., Providence, was arrested in the incident. Joselyn Hidalgo, of 108 George Waterman Rd., told the police she was in her car conversing with Guzman's husband in a lot across from his temporary apartment on Hartford Avenue. Alma Guzman arrived, driving her car into hers and demanding to know why she was there.
Hidalgo said that when she tried to use her cell phone, the irate wife snatched it from her hands and walked away. Guzman has been released on personal recognizance pending a hearing on Feb. 15.
