An 18-year-old Topeka woman was arrested early Thursday morning after spraying five people with pepper spray.

According to Lawrence Police Sgt. Bronson Star, officers were called to the 2400 block of Iowa Street about 1:56 a.m. in reference to a fight in progress. When police arrived at the scene, they located five victims who said they had been sprayed with pepper spray. The victims were a 27-year-old Lawrence man, a 22-year-old Lawrence woman, two 19-year-old women from Overland Park and Topeka and an 18-year-old woman from Overland Park. The suspects had already left the scene.

The fight was a continuation of an altercation between two groups that began at Wilde’s Chateau 24, 2412 Iowa St.

Star said the groups had gone across the street when the business closed and continued their altercation. It was at that time the suspect sprayed the victims with pepper spray.

Police were able to locate the suspect vehicle in the 2100 block of Iowa Street. After interviewing the occupants, they took the 18-year-old Topeka woman into custody. She was booked into the Douglas County Jail about 2:50 a.m. on five counts of aggravated battery.

Police recovered the pepper spray from the vehicle.

All five victims were treated and released at the scene.
