A 40-year-old woman is facing an assault charge after an argument over a parking spot turned violent.
At around 2:30 p.m. Saturday, officers were called to a recreational facility in the 1200 block of St. James for the report of a collision involving a pedestrian.
An investigation quickly revealed that a woman in her 30s was standing in an open parking spot saving it for her family who were making their way to the spot.
As she waited for them to arrive, another vehicle arrived and the woman standing in the spot, and the 40-year-old driver of the vehicle, got into an argument over saving the spot.
The driver then proceeded to drive into the spot, knocking the victim to the ground and trapping her under the front tires of the SUV.
The vehicle then fled the scene without checking on the victim.
The woman in her 30s was transported to the hospital in stable condition for lower body injuries.
Police were able to locate the driver and place her under arrest a short time later.
A 40-year-old female faces a charge of assault with a weapon and driving carelessly.
She was released on an undertaking.
