A 36-year-old Odessa woman was arrested and charged with aggravated assault after police said an argument over the sexuality of her friend’s child led the woman to hit the friend in the head with a beer bottle.

Maria Guadalupe Rodriguez, 106 W. Odessa St. according to an arrest affidavit, but no address in jail listings, was being held Friday at the Ector County Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.

On June 20, 2010, a woman reported to police she was invited to Rodriguez’s house early in the morning for drinks and to catch up with each other’s lives, the affidavit stated.

During the conversation, Rodriguez, whom the woman stated was a longtime friend, began to accuse the woman’s oldest daughter of being a lesbian, the affidavit stated. The woman began to verbally defend her daughter and a fight ensued between the woman and Rodriguez, the affidavit stated.

When the woman tired to leave, Rodriguez grabbed the woman’s hair, pulled her back inside and hit her on the left side of the head, above the left ear, with a brown beer bottle, the affidavit stated.

The woman was taken to Medical Center Hospital by her husband and was treated for a four-inch gash on the side of her head and had a shard of glass removed, the affidavit stated.

The affidavit was signed June 30.
