A woman allegedly punched her husband’s ex-girlfriend after a child custody hearing in the Butler County Courthouse this morning causing a lockdown there.

It was first thought that the man hit his ex-girlfriend.

Tiffiney Martin will be charged with simple assault after she allegedly punched the woman in the face inside a jury assembly room adjacent to Courtroom 1 in the courthouse at about 9:45 a.m.

The victim was taken to Butler Memorial Hospital with injuries to her face.

Officials initially believed that Martin’s husband, Randy Martin, punched his ex-girlfriend and the mother of his two-year-old child.

However, when county detectives interviewed the victim and her 18-year-old daughter there were inconsistencies in their statements.

Detective Scott Roskovski said the victim believed her ex-boyfriend hit her, but added she couldn’t remember the incident because she “blacked out.”

Tiffiney Martin later admitted during a phone call with detectives that she was the one who punched the woman, Roskovski said.

The room that the incident allegedly occurred in does not have video surveillance.
