On Friday evening, March 24, a Brazil Police Department officer was flagged down by a female who stated her friend had just “been jumped” and battered by another female.

Delaney Willmore, 20, Brazil, told officers she was invited to a Brazil residence and, upon arrival, was beaten by another female inside the home. At the time, the female’s identity was unknown.

An ambulance was dispatched to the scene due to Willmore’s “obvious injuries,” and initially transported to St. Vincent’s Ascension Hospital. Due to Willmore’s severe facial injuries, she was transferred to Indianapolis Methodist Hospital/IU Health for further treatment.

On Monday, charges were updated to level 3 felony Aggravated Battery with a $25,000 cash bond. She remains incarcerated awaiting formal court proceedings.
