Women charged with domestic violence
A heavily intoxicated mother and daughter pair were each charged with domestic violence after an argument that started at a bar escalated to a physical fight after they returned to their Midway home.
Deputies responded at 9:44 p.m. Thursday to 8865 Franklin Ave., Lakeview, where Terry L. Steiner, 52, reported her daughter Tiffany Jo McMann, 34, had broken out a window.
Both women were very drunk and getting accurate information was difficult, deputies report.
It appeared a fight started at the bar when the daughter allegedly backed up into her mother’s car while trying to leave. The mother then took the daughter’s car and returned home. After getting a ride home, the daughter broke out a window to gain entry to the home and the fight continued to escalate.
They were each taken to the Logan County Jail on domestic violence charges.
