A 19-year-old Bismarck man is under arrest after he allegedly beat his 77-year-old grandmother with a blunt style weapon yesterday morning around 6:00 am. He is under arrest for attempted murder.
Officers were called to the Skyway Park Village around 6:15 am on May 8th for a domestic assault reported to Central Dakota Communications. Officers arrived and found a 77-year-old woman with severe lacerations to her head. She was taken to a local hospital and treated for her injuries. A perimeter was set-up around the house, and eventually, Jordan Oster, 19, of Bismarck, was located outside of the residence.
Through victim testimony and evidence on scene, officers were able to determine that Jordan attacked is grandmother with a large stick. She had wood in the laceration to her head, and blood was in the bedroom where the alleged attack occurred.
The victim is still receiving treatment for the injuries she received and is expected to make a recovery. Jordan is currently at a local hospital under observation and security of Bismarck Police Officers until he can be cleared to go to jail.
While in the hospital, he attacked an officer and nurse around 7:15pm yesterday, and charges were added for Assault on a Police Officer. Once he is medically cleared, Oster will be taken to Burleigh Morton Detention Center.
