The victim, who was hit up to 10 times with the plaque, fled the house and called 911. The Post-Star reported that he suffered cuts to the head and face, bruises and a possibly broken finger.
Troopers responding to the 911 call found Fraley standing outside the house with a 8-foot-long tree branch, which she is accused of waving at them. When she refused to put the branch down, she was shot with a stun gun.
Fraley continued to fight the troopers as they placed her into custody, the newspaper reported.
"She made a comment that she hit him with a plaque of Jesus because she thought he was the devil," investigator Kevin Reppenhagen told the Post-Star.
Fraley was charged with second-degree assault, a felony in New York, and misdemeanor charges of menacing, criminal possession of a weapon, resisting arrest and criminal mischief. She was being held in the Washington County, New York, jail without bail.
