Fort Smith police are investigating multiple assaults that were reported Sunday evening in the area of North 34th and L streets.
According to the incident report, a woman told Fort Smith police officer Lauren Hendricks that a blue car containing three occupants pulled up in front of her residence in the 1300 block of North 34th Street at around 6 p.m. Sunday. She said two women she knows by name got out of the vehicle and waved a handgun and a hammer at her. She said she quickly went inside her residence and locked her door.
After the woman locked herself inside her residence, she received a phone call from her sister, who said she had just been in a fight with one of the two women. The woman's sister told Hendricks that a woman pulled up in a blue vehicle with a man and woman and began fighting her while she was walking west on L Street toward North 17th Street, the report states.
The woman's sister said the woman got out of the car and punched her in the eye. The woman's sister hit her in the back and then fought her, the report states.
The other woman in the blue vehicle reportedly got out and assisted in the fight. The woman's sister reported the two women pulled her hair and then eventually got back in the vehicle and left her, the report states.
While Hendricks was making the report for this incident, she was dispatched to the 1400 block of North 35th Street in reference to an incident involving a firearm. The two women Hendricks spoke to in reference to the incident said a black woman wearing a white coat, black pants and a black headwrap had come by their house waving a "small silver pistol," the report states.
They said the woman was in a white car with another black woman and a man with dreadlocks. They said they had no idea who the woman is or why she was there, the report states.
The woman making the report had the same name as the woman who the two sisters said assaulted them in the previous incident. Hendricks told the woman about the previous report, but she said it was untrue, the report states.
Hendricks located a hammer in the front passenger floorboard of the woman's car during a search, the report states.
The woman claimed to not know anything about the fight in the first report. Hendricks said that the two women did not want to talk to her after she told them the first account, the report states.
Hendricks did not arrest the woman or her sister because she felt she did not have enough information to make an arrest. The hammer was booked into evidence, the report states.
