A Carbon County jury on Wednesday acquitted a Lansford woman, who swung a knife at her neighbor, of aggravated assault and simple assault with injury caused by negligence.
But it convicted Toyin Olowoyo of simple assault by physical menace and harassment.
A charge of disorderly conduct was dismissed.
President Judge Roger N. Nanovic presided over the trial, and impose punishment at a date yet to be set.
Assistant District Attorney Brian B. Gazo prosecuted the case. Attorney Mary Margaret Connors represented Olowoyo.
Olowoyo, 45, remains free on $500 cash bail.
