Lane County Sheriff’s Office deputies used a Taser to subdue a naked woman arrested Thursday, Feb. 26, after an elderly Creswell resident was assaulted.

Aiyana Elizabeth Roy, 25, was booked into the Lane County Jail on suspicion of second-degree assault and first-degree burglary, among other charges. 

Deputies responded at about 7 a.m. to the 200 block of Creswood Drive in Creswell after reports of a woman causing a disturbance outside.

Upon the deputies’ arrival, the woman broke into a nearby residence and assaulted the homeowner, the sheriff’s office said in a news release.

The resident, a woman in her 80s, did not know the woman who entered her home, said Sgt. Tim Wallace, a sheriff’s office spokesperson.

A deputy quickly deployed a Taser and officers detained the woman suspected of assaulting the elderly resident, the news release stated.

Medics treated the elderly woman, who sustained a “significant injury,” according to the sheriff’s office.

Another man in a neighboring home was also injured during an assault that took place before deputies arrived, according to the sheriff’s office. Wallace said the woman was known to the man injured in the earlier assault.

Roy, a Creswell resident, also sustained injuries and was taken to an area hospital for treatment before being lodged in the jail later in the day.

After negotiations with prosecutors, Roy pleaded guilty April 16 to first-degree burglary. Charges of second-degree criminal mischief and fourth-degree assault were dismissed.

In a letter to the court, the victim wrote she had never seen Roy before the break-in, and she had “lost all feelings of being safe in my home.”

“It’s been nearly two months and I still jump and feel anxious any time I hear noise outside, day and night,” she wrote.

Lane County Circuit Court Judge Erin Fennerty sentenced Roy to 60 months of probation and 30 days in jail, with the jail sentence considered served.

Roy was categorized as having the lowest possible criminal history, meaning she had not previously been convicted as an adult of a felony or a Class A misdemeanor.

Fennerty issued a sentence less severe than state sentencing guidelines called for, citing the plea negotiations. The guidelines, which take into account criminal history, recommended a sentence of 34 to 36 months in prison.

Roy must not have any contact with the victim as part of her probation requirements.
