Vape pen toss ends in arrest, police say

An early Sunday morning argument led to domestic violence charges for a woman who allegedly threw a vape pen at her husband’s head.

Leah Yazzie was charged with Assault/Domestic Violence in the incident, police said.

Police were summoned to a North San Marin Street residence in Tortosa at 1:37 a.m.

In the incident, Yazzie threw a vape pen at her husband, hitting him in the head just above the left ear and causing a one-inch cut, according to a probable cause statement, which added she also threw an Allen wrench set at him, but missed.

Yazzie was intoxicated at the time of the incident, registering a 0.232% blood alcohol level, the probable cause statement said.

She allegedly told officers she had been strangled, but would not cooperate when asked about it, police said.

Yazzie was booked into Pinal County Jail on the charges, police said.
