Prosecutors file aggravated battery charge against woman for Burrito King incident

Douglas County prosecutors have charged a 24-year-old Lawrence woman with aggravated battery after an altercation in the Burrito King drive-through lane.

Prosecutors filed the case against April Ann Jones who was arrested early on Jan. 1 after she was accused of battering a woman outside Burrito King, 900 Ill. Police said a 31-year-old Lawrence woman said the fight began when her vehicle rolled and struck the vehicle in front of her.

The victim alleged Jones and another woman then got out of their vehicle and began hitting her. The 31-year-old woman was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital for treatment, and police later arrested Jones, who posted $750 bond and was given notice to appear in court Thursday.

Police said at the time they did not find the second suspect.
