Bandon Police arrested 22 year old Lila McCovey for an active warrant alleging Unlawful Possession of Methamphetamine. It was determined Lila McCovey had possibly been the victim of an assault which had occurred in the county. A Deputy from the Coos County Sheriff’s Office responded to the jail and contacted Lila McCovey. McCovey reported she had been hit in the left arm with a four foot construction level, which she had believed had broken her arm. While the arm was not broken, it had sustained severe bruising and required a sling.
