CRESTVIEW - A 21-year-old Crestview woman was arrested after she allegedly attacked another woman at a local nightspot, lawmen say.
On Jan. 5 Crestview Police were called to Helen Back Cafe on South Ferdon Boulevard about a disturbance.
They were told a woman and a group of her friends were out celebrating the woman's relocation to Baton Rouge, La. She was at a basin next to the restroom when another woman approached her and for no apparent reason called her a "slut." The aggressor then taunted the woman to hit her, but the woman refused, so the aggressor threw a glass at her, striking her in the head and causing the glass to shatter. Then the aggressor started punching the woman and the two had to be separated by Helen Back security personnel.
The victim told lawmen the woman taunted her to strike first because she was in the Navy and couldn't throw the first punch.
A witness corroborated the victim's story.
The aggressor was charged with battery and will report to a judge on Jan. 29.
