A fight that allegedly began with an argument over a cell phone Monday morning has resulted in abuse charges being filed against a Minden woman and a juvenile, according to police.
Jnai Jabrea Warren, a 21-year-old resident of Hackett Dr., is charged with domestic abuse battery with child endangerment as a result of the incident. She is currently being held in the parish jail on $7,500 bond.
Investigating officers said the juvenile involved in the altercation was arrested on the same charge, then released to the custody of a parent.
Information gathered during interviews with the pair revealed Warren allegedly took the juvenile’s cell phone, then struck her when she tried to retrieve the phone.
Officers said more pushing and shoving occurred before the juvenile allegedly followed Warren into the kitchen area of the residence and struck her with a curtain rod. At that point, the two reportedly began fighting.
Officers reported finding broken glass on the floor along with hair, blood and broken fingernails. Both Warren and the juvenile reportedly were missing fingernails.
