A defense attorney from North Carolina was arrested after allegedly faking a seizure during her arrest for reportedly striking a woman in the face several times during an argument.
On April 15, a defense attorney was at her law office in Charlotte. According to reports, she was speaking to a woman she suspected was having an affair with one of the firm’s clients who had been to the office earlier in the day. The situation intensified when the attorney allegedly began to yell and use profanity, and then reportedly hit the woman in the face five times. She also allegedly scratched her and caused her to bleed.
The authorities were notified, and officers from the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department went to the business to assist. They assessed the situation, and when they reportedly saw blood under the attorney’s nails, the police assumed it was from the cuts on the alleged victim’s face.
