A
west Florida woman is facing felony assault charges
after she allegedly attacked her grandmother for
denying a Facebook friend request. UPI reports:
Deputies arrested Rachel Anne Hayes, 27,
early Thursday for aggravated battery on an
elderly person. According to authorities,
Hayes slapped the 72-year-old multiple
times at a home in Clearwater, Fla.
WFLA reports the woman was Hayes’
grandmother and that Hayes’ arrest affidavit
indicated alcohol was a factor in the
assault.
The attack allegedly stemmed from an
argument between the two over Hayes’
Facebook moniker. Hayes’ grandmother
refused to accept her friend request unless
the name was changed, according to
authorities.
Hayes initially left the residence but
returned, and in the ensuing argument she
slapped her grandmother multiple times at
the threshold of a door before the elderly
woman was able to retreat inside.
Deputies arrived on scene and arrested
Hayes, who was released from the Pinellas
County jail on $10,000 bond.
