May 14, 2025 – Penn Valley, CA – Nevada County Sheriff’s Office officials report that on Sunday, May 11, 2025, Nevada County Sheriff’s Office Deputies arrested Tiffany Wright, age 43 of Penn Valley, for two counts of elder abuse and battery with serious injury following an investigation into her alleged assault of senior-age family members at a Sun Forest Drive home. 

A 75-year-old woman and 87-year-old man were transported to a local hospital for treatment of injuries described by deputies as “substantial” after contacting the victims at their residence, which is shared with Wright, in response to a 9-1-1 call reporting a disturbance just before 8:00 p.m. The victims advised that Wright had arrived at the home shortly before engaging them in a physical altercation that left them with numerous lacerations and contusions. Wright remained on scene and was contacted outside the home by CHP officers that had arrived with NCSO to assist. Wright initially gave deputies a false name and date of birth, before being correctly identified and subsequently arrested on assault charges. 

Wright was transported to the hospital for treatment of a laceration before being booked into the Wayne Brown Correctional Facility with an enhanced bail of $250,000.
