Paula Phillips/Credit: Atchison Police Dept.
(KAIR)--An elderly Atchison woman is facing charges for allegedly attacking another elderly woman in the parking lot of the Atchison Walmart store.
According to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, the crime happened last week, on the afternoon of September 24, around 12:45, with Atchison Police called to the store, located in the 1900 block of U.S. Highway 73, to investigate.
A 72-year-old woman told them, the release says, that she had been "threatened and struck and pulled to the ground by a person known to her."
That person, identified as 78-year-old Paula Phillips, had left the scene before officers arrived at the store, but she was located Saturday evening at her residence, where she was arrested on an Atchison County District Court warrant charging her with criminal threat and battery.
Once in custody, Phillips was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
