LAWRENCE COUNTY, Ohio (WSAZ) -- A man has plead guilty to attempted murder in a shovel attack against a woman.

She was taken to an area hospital where she is listed in critical condition.

A family member who lives in the house identified Sexton as the person who assaulted the woman.

Sexton is scheduled to be sentenced later this month.
