PORT ARTHUR, Texas – A 68-year-old Port Arthur woman is under arrest after she allegedly assaulted a nurse.
In court documents, investigators say Virginia Salsgiver was drunk when she was brought into the Southeast Texas Medical Center.
A nurse was trying to clean Salsgiver, because she had defecated on herself.
The nurse told police that Salsgiver became aggressive and took her hand – covered in feces – and jabbed her finger in the nurse’s eye.
The incident broke a blood vessel and scratched the nurse’s eye.
The nurse immediately started taking antibiotics.
Salsgiver is charged with third-degree felony assault.
