A 25-year-old woman faces charges in Framingham District Court after allegedly smashing a beer bottle over a bartender's head as she was being escorted from the bar, according to the MetroWest Daily News.

Angellin Figueroa, of 75 Irving St., Apt. 209, was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct after the incident at The Happy Swallow Pub, police said. Massachusetts assault charges are more serious when authorities allege a dangerous weapon was involved -- in this case, a beer bottle. A Framingham criminal defense attorney experienced in assault cases should be called to represent the defendant in this case and may be able to seek a reduction in charges.

The incident occurred shortly before 2 a.m. Saturday, when police were called to the Waverly Street bar after a report of three people fighting. Witnesses reported that the bartender had been assaulted while escorting Figueroa from the bar. The bartender sustained a cut lip after the defendant reportedly smashed the beer bottle over his head.

The defendant was ordered held on $500 cash bail. The judge also ordered that Figueroa not consume alcohol and submit to random testing.
