Residents Assaulted At Yard Sale

   A Summertown woman told Lawrence County law enforcement officers Saturday that she and her daughter were assaulted after stopping at a yard sale.

   The forty-six-year-old victim told deputies with the Lawrence County Sheriff’s Department that she and her daughter, age 24, had stopped at a yard sale on U.S. Highway 43 North in Summertown and were perusing the wares, when she was approached by her niece, a thirty-five-year-old resident of Drake Lane. She indicated that the younger woman initiated a confrontation, and that her daughter stepped between them. At that time, she reports that her niece shoved her daughter.

   The woman walked away, placing a 911 call while walking back to her vehicle. Deputies advised the women about the process of obtaining a criminal summons for assault, should they so desire.
