A woman faces sentencing in June following her recent conviction for aggravated assault at a child’s birthday party in Brunswick. Alexandrea Jones was found guilty in Glynn County Superior Court of stabbing a woman during an incident at Lanes and Games on New Jesup Highway, as confirmed by the Brunswick District Attorney’s Office.
On September 24, 2023, officers responded to a stabbing report at the venue, where they discovered a woman with a severe facial wound. The victim, who had organized the event for her 1-year-old child, had previously rescinded invitations to Jones and her mother, citing concerns about their behavior.
Amidst a gathering of approximately 30 attendees, a confrontation erupted between the victim and Jones. During the altercation, Jones inflicted a significant facial injury on the victim with a sharp object, extending from the corner of her mouth to her cheek, according to the District Attorney’s Office.
