A 55-year-old woman was arrested Wednesday after allegedly assaulting her elderly parents in Elmwood Township.

Leelanau County Sheriff's Office deputies were dispatched to a disturbance at a South Cedar Lane residence at 11:39pm. Upon arrival, deputies took control of an intoxicated woman who was screaming at the scene. An investigation determined the woman had physically assaulted her elderly parents, who called 911. The woman was restrained by her son - with assistance from the father - until the authorities arrived.

The woman was arrested on suspicion of domestic assault and lodged at Leelanau County Jail. No one was injured in the incident.
