GRAND FORKS (AP) - A resident at a Grand Forks independent-living facility that houses the elderly and others in need of care spent some time behind bars for assaulting a 78-year-old nun.

Police say 47-year-old Dorothy Peltier pleaded guilty to misdemeanor simple assault and spent a night in jail this week.

The nun wasn't identified. Sister Rebecca Metzger, an administrator at St. Anne's Guest Home, called the incident "very minor" and said that the nun was OK.

The incident occurred during a dispute over when Peltier would be allowed on a home visit. The nun reported that Peltier threw part of her headdress on the floor, damaged her glasses and struck her in the face.
