Fuquay-Varina Woman Arrested on Assault and Domestic Violence Charges
On January 13, 2025, Hailey Nicole Formont, a 25-year-old resident of Fuquay-Varina, North Carolina, was arrested by the Wake County Sheriff’s Office (WCSO) at 3301 Hammond Road in Raleigh. Formont, who resides on the 500 block of Smith Ridge Way, was charged with simple assault under North Carolina Statute 14-33(A) and misdemeanor crime of domestic violence under Statute 14-32.5.
Simple assault in North Carolina involves inflicting or attempting to inflict physical harm or offensive contact on another person. Convictions for this misdemeanor offense can result in penalties such as up to 30 days in jail, fines typically up to $200, and possible court-mandated community service or anger management programs. Domestic violence charges apply when the alleged assault involves a spouse, partner, or household member. These charges often carry enhanced consequences, including no-contact protective orders, mandatory participation in a domestic violence intervention program, and potential jail time or fines similar to those for simple assault.
Formont is expected to appear in court to address the charges. Authorities in Wake County take domestic violence cases seriously and remain committed to ensuring the safety of victims while holding offenders accountable. This arrest underscores the legal consequences of violent conduct within relationships and the state’s efforts to combat domestic violence.
