Police Briefs: Lost keys lead to assault charges

Lost keys lead to assault charges

Smashed Skyy vodka bottles hurled at a 1994 Cadillac, an iron thrown through an apartment window and a kicked-over scooter were the end result of two women arguing over a set of keys, according to a police arrest report.

Lakela D. Bonner, 29, and Lakendra J. Taylor, 31, both of Chattanooga, were both arrested and charged with domestic assault and vandalism Sunday, according to the Chattanooga Police Department report.

Bonner and Taylor, who have been together for two years as a couple and share a child together, began arguing over a set of keys, the report said. Bonner said she lost a set of keys belonging to Taylor, according to the report.

The argument escalated, with Bonner kicking over Taylor’s scooter, causing $500 in damage. Bonner retaliated by throwing Skyy vodka bottles at Taylor’s 1994 Cadillac, breaking out the driver’s side window and damaging the front windshield, an estimated $900 in damage.
