Police arrested a 21-year-old woman for investigation of fourth-degree assault after she reportedly punched her 40-year-old mother in the face during a dispute at about 7:56 p.m. Aug. 2 at an apartment in the 2600 block of South 256th Street. The daughter called police to report a dispute and said her mother was high, according to the police report.

Officers interviewed a witness who told them the daughter had forced her way into the mother’s apartment and punched her mother in the face. The daughter told officers that her mother had hit her in the face but the daughter had no marks. The daughter also claimed the argument took place in the parking lot. There was no indication about what the mother and daughter had argued about.
