A Madison man who was out on bond for attempted murder was arrested Tuesday for assaulting a woman with a croquet mallet.

Mauricia Corbett, 37, is now being held in the Limestone County Jail on a charge of second-degree assault. Bail is set at $5,000. However, because his bond on previous charges of attempted murder and domestic violence – aggravated assault was revoked, he is ineligible to post bond at all.

On March 17, a female victim was attacked on Hatchett Road East and transported to Huntsville Hospital with numerous facial fractures and lacerations. The victim had to have both stitches and staples. She told investigators she had been assaulted by Corbett and two other suspects, who used two wooden croquet mallets.

The investigation remains open. Additional arrests are pending.

On July 20, 2018, Corbett was arrested for shooting a woman on Hatchett Road East. The victim ran to the nearby Mapco station for help, and Corbett surrendered himself to a deputy on Old Railroad Bed Road. He was charged with attempted murder and domestic violence – aggravated assault.
