Cape Breton woman charged with assaulting man with mirror, throwing stick at police officer

A Cape Breton woman who is accused of assaulting a man with a broken mirror and throwing a walking stick at a police officer is scheduled to enter pleas next month.

Angelina Noelle Parsons, 35, of Sydney, faces two counts of assault with a weapon involving a mirror and broken shards of glass, and two counts of assault, as well as single counts of assaulting a police officer by advancing toward them with a three-foot wooden walking stick before throwing it at them, and obstruction for not obeying police commands.

The offences allegedly took place on Aug. 7, 2026, in Sydney.

Parsons also faces multiple theft and theft breach charges.

On Jan. 23, 2026, she was charged with theft and possession of property obtained by crime after she allegedly took merchandise from the Nova Scotia Liquor Corp. on Victoria Road in Sydney.

Three days later, she was charged with stealing merchandise from the NSLC on Prince Street in Sydney and violating a court order barring her from being at the store.

Parsons was again charged with stealing merchandise from the NSLC on Victoria Road on March 14, 2026, and on July 13, 2026, she was charged with failing to attend court.

She is now expected to return to Sydney provincial court on Nov. 25 for election and pleas on the charges.
