ST. GEORGE – An allegedly intoxicated Cedar City woman was arrested Monday after she and others forced their way into a home and assaulted those inside, believing they had stolen the woman’s shoes.
Cedar City Police officers responded to a residence in the early hours of New Year’s Day where the occupants inside had been attacked by a group that included a woman identified as 30-year-old Christina Louise Spencer.
Prior to calling police, Spencer and the group had pushed their way into the home. After getting inside, Spencer and the others “began to assault several of the people in the residence,” according to a probable cause statement.
Witnesses told police Spencer had hit at least two people in the face before she and the others were force back outside, breaking out the glass of the front screen door in the process.
“The complainants stated that Christina and the others were there because they believed the residents had stolen some shoes and other property from her,” according to the statement.
A car matching the description of the one witnesses said Spencer and the others left in was found nearby by a Cedar City Police officer. That officer just also happened to witness the car run past a stop sign at 800 West and Industrial Avenue and initiated a traffic stop.
