The victim of an alleged domestic violence dispute is recovering from injuries she received Wednesday.

Halifax County Sheriff's Office Detective Joe Sealey said Deputy T. Clark was called to Halifax Regional Medical Center which informed him an assault victim had been transported there.

Lieutenant Bobby Martin said the victim was allegedly struck with a blunt object and received injuries to her body and face.

Through Clark's investigation he arrested 47-year-old Raymond Mitchell Spence of the Roanoke Rapids area.

He was charged with felony assault on a female and felony assault with a deadly weapon inflicting serious injury.

Because the crime was domestic, Sealey said Spence is in jail without the opportunity for bond and is awaiting a January 25 court date.
