Paris police responded about 6:15 p.m. Monday to a residence in the 1300 block of West Houston where a woman told them she had gotten into a fight earlier in the day at Oak Park with another female.
About 6 p.m., the woman said, she walked out of a room of her house and discovered in her living room another woman, who began threatening her and assaulting her with both hands.
She told officers that this woman told her she was the mother of the person she had been fighting with earlier in the day. The woman left after demanding that she apologize to the daughter, the resident told officers.
Officer Curtis Garrett, the public information officer for the city, said the incident is under investigation.
Garrett said officers arrested three people on Monday, including two for traffic warrants and one on a charge of criminal mischief.
Charles Richards Charles Richards moved to Paris in 2004 after retiring from a 40-year career in journalism – the last 26 years as a news writer and sports writer with The Associated Press in Dallas and Washington, D.C. In mid-2004, The Paris News coaxed him out of retirement, and he began covering the police, court and regional beat for The Paris News. Then in early 2005, he was switched to coverage of a sharply divided Paris City Council. He was appointed by the City Council in 2006 to the 12-member City Charter Review Commission, which extensively rewrote the outmoded document. His writing awards include two first-place awards in statewide competition for feature writing. The most recent was his 2005 story on a Paris doctor’s startling use of leeches in a successful attempt to re-attach a man’s severed ear. Over his career, Richards’ interview subjects include Alabama Gov. George Wallace, President Bill Clinton, President George W. Bush, David Koresh, Arnold Palmer, Muhammad Ali and numerous other political and sports figures. He is an alumnus of Texas Tech, where he was editor of the school newspaper. He lives in Paris with his wife, Barbara, who is retired after 30 years as a teacher and high school counselor.
