JONESBORO, Ark. — A woman faces an aggravated assault allegation after police say she chased another person with a hammer following a confrontation over missing shoes Oct. 17 at Garden Manor.
Shaniquia Taylor faces allegations of aggravated assault, a Class D felony, and refusal to submit to arrest, a Class B misdemeanor, according to first-appearance records.
Officers responded to Garden Manor for a disturbance, according to a probable cause affidavit dated Oct. 19. Witnesses told officers Taylor had been chasing the victim outside with a hammer.
The victim told police she confronted Taylor because she believed Taylor had taken her shoes from her apartment. She said Taylor then chased her and tried to hit her with a hammer, according to the affidavit.
The affidavit does not describe the victim being struck or report any injuries.
Officers later attempted to take Taylor into custody outside her residence, but she resisted their efforts to handcuff her, according to the affidavit. Officers placed her in handcuffs after a brief struggle.
Bond was set Oct. 19 at $20,000 cash or surety. Taylor’s next court appearance is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. Nov. 23 at the Craighead County Courthouse in Jonesboro.
The allegations have not been proven in court.
