An alleged argument over rent led to an assault charge and jail time for a Maricopa woman Monday evening.
The Maricopa Police Department responded to a residence on North Miller Way in the Maricopa Meadows subdivision March 19 around 6:26 p.m.
Alisha Lewis, 30, told officers she confronted her female roommate about a rent payment earlier that evening.
“(Lewis) further stated she became angry with (the victim) and admitted she initiated a physical fight with (the victim),” the report alleges.
The reporting officer noted multiple abrasions on the victim’s face, as well as a small scratch under her left eye.
Lewis, who has no prior violence convictions, was booked into Pinal County Jail on charges of assault, a class 1 misdemeanor; and disorderly conduct, also a class 1 misdemeanor.
Lewis remains in custody at the Pinal County Adult Detention Center in Florence.
