She said her neighbor, a 48-year-old woman, punched her. She said she got a phone call from her neighbor’s nephew, asking for a ride. The woman drove the nephew to an address in South Tacoma and ran some errands. During those errands, the woman realized the nephew left his flask in her car. She said she knocked on her neighbor’s door. The neighbor answered, instantly angry and profane, asking what the woman wanted. The woman said she asked if the nephew was home. The neighbor said he was, but why was the woman knocking. The woman explained she was returning the flask. At that point, the woman said, the neighbor followed her, closed in, explained that she was from the East Coast, not the West Coast, and this was how people from the East Coast solved problems. The neighbor spat in her face, the woman said, and started throwing punches. The witness said the neighbor was the aggressor, and the older woman did nothing but defend herself. Officers knocked on the neighbor’s door. The neighbor said the older woman assaulted her, and she wanted to press charges. She said she’d been sitting in her apartment when her nephew came in, saying he’d gotten a ride from the older woman. Source: www.thenewstribune.com
