Court Watching: Vena Mixon sentenced to County Jail for assault with dangerous weapon

Vena Ezette Mixon, 47, of Sumpter Township was sentenced to two years of probation and up to three months in the Wayne County Jail after she pled no-contest to a charge of assault with a dangerous weapon (felonious assault).
During the sentencing on Oct. 16 Wayne County Circuit Court Judge Lawrence Stuart Talon gave her credit of three days for time served and assessed crime victim fee/state minimum cost of $198.
Mixon had also been charged with a second charge of assault with a dangerous weapon and felony firearm and both those charges were dismissed as part of the plea deal.
Mixon may serve jail time as work release and on weekends.
The deal was worked out by her retained attorney Mary L. Yancy and Wayne County Assistant Prosecutor Keith G. Clark.
Mixon was charged with the three felonies after pulling a gun on a woman on a bicycle who was picking up rocks along Judd Road in Sumpter and then knocking the woman down with her car, all on May 11.
She had been free after posting bond of $5,000 or 10%.
