A staffer for Boston Mayor Michelle Wu remains on unpaid leave after she was arrested on a felony assault charge in connection with a domestic violence incident earlier this year.
Daunasia Yancey, 33, of Jamaica Plain, was arrested on Friday, April 11, and charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, according to a criminal complaint obtained Wednesday by Boston 25.
Officers responding to a report of domestic assault at 5 Mills Street in Roxbury around 1:40 p.m. on April 11 spoke with a woman who said she had been physically attacked during a dispute over a birth certificate in a locked safe, Boston Municipal Court documents indicated.
The victim reportedly told officers that her ex-wife’s new girlfriend, identified in the court documents as Yancey, assaulted her in an attempt to take the safe from her.
During the altercation, Yancey allegedly grabbed the victim, threw her out of her bed, and slammed her into a wall. Before leaving the home, Yancey told the victim that she planned to take the locked safe to Home Depot to open it, according to the documents.
As officers continued to speak with the victim of the alleged assault, Yancey returned to the scene and was taken into custody, police said.
