Apprehension of Suspect in Jefferson County

A Fairfield woman is currently being held at the Jefferson County Jail following her arrest by Birmingham Police on Monday. Sanqueneta Twyman, 39, was taken into custody on March 23 in relation to a physical confrontation that had been under investigation for over two weeks. According to police records, the arrest was executed without incident, and Twyman was formally processed on multiple charges related to an assault that occurred in the southwestern portion of the city.

Details of the March 9 Incident

The charges against Twyman stem from an event reported on March 9 at the intersection of South Park Road and South Park Drive Southwest. While specific details regarding the motive or the relationship between the parties have not been fully disclosed, Birmingham Police confirmed that a man sustained injuries during the encounter. The severity of those injuries led investigators to seek a warrant for second-degree assault, a charge typically applied when physical injury is caused by a weapon or through means intended to cause serious harm.

Formal Charges and Legal Proceedings

In addition to the assault charge, Twyman has been booked for menacing. According to Alabama law, a menacing charge implies that the suspect intentionally placed another person in fear of imminent physical injury through physical action. Twyman remained in the local detention facility following her booking on Monday, where she awaits her initial court appearance to address the two criminal counts.
