The Upshur County Grand Jury returned 17 indictments July 18, including three against a Gilmer woman, said Upshur County District Attorney Billy Byrd.
Corah Aislynn Paige Anderson, 18, was separately indicted on charges of “escape while arrested/confined” last Sept. 27, assault on public servant on May 20, and “continuous violence against the family” on May 18, said Byrd. She was arrested on all three dates, he said.
Anderson posted $25,000 bond on the escape charge, but remained in jail under no bond on the family violence charge and $100,000 bond on the assault charge, the district attorney said.
