Woman arrested after fight at Lawrence burrito stand

A 24-year-old Lawrence woman was arrested Sunday on an aggravated battery charge after another woman was injured during an altercation in the Burrito King, 900 Ill., drive-thru lane.

Sgt. Matt Sarna, a Lawrence police spokesman, said the fight occurred at 2:20 a.m. Sunday after a 31-year-old Lawrence woman’s vehicle rolled and struck the vehicle in front of her. Sarna said the 24-year-old woman and another passenger got out of the vehicle. As the 31-year-old woman exited her vehicle, the two suspects began battering her.

The 31-year-old woman was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with injuries not believed to be life threatening. Police later located the 24-year-old woman and arrested her, but officers did not find the second suspect, Sarna said.

According to jail records, the 24-year-old woman posted $750 bond and was given notice to appear in court Jan. 12 if she’s formally charged. The Journal-World generally does not identify suspects unless they are formally charged.
