MIAMI – A 30-year-old woman appeared in court on Thursday morning after deputies reported that an argument about religion turned violent in Miami-Dade County.

Deputies arrested Ingrid Alcover, who uses a wheelchair, for domestic violence at about 5:20 p.m., on Wednesday, near the Tamiami area.

According to a deputy’s arrest report, the argument between Alcover and her 76-year-old mother got heated as they discussed “faith.”

According to the deputy’s report, Alcover “grabbed” her mother’s right arm “and bit her causing a deep tissue penetration that will leave a permanent disfigurement.”

Records show corrections booked Alcover, who was born in Michigan, shortly before 9:20 p.m., on Wednesday, at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.

After spending the night in jail, Alcover appeared before Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer, who released her from custody without posting bail after the victim described the injury as “a mark” and “bruise” even though her arm was bandaged.

“Only friendly non-violent contact is allowed,” Glazer told Alcover in court about her stay-away order.

Miami-Dade County Circuit Judge Richard Hersch is set to preside over the case. Before Wednesday, Alcover didn’t have an arrest record in Miami-Dade.
