Woman arrested for attacking grandson with branch, car

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) - A 68-year-old Wichita woman didn’t take kindly to having her grandson swearing at her, so police say she hit him with a tree branch and tried to run over him with a car.

The Wichita Eagle (https://bit.ly/1PgUlzc ) reports the woman and her grandson’s girlfriend were arrested on Monday after an incident that started as a domestic dispute escalated.

Police say the 27-year-old grandson accused his girlfriend of having an affair with their landlord at an apartment complex, prompting the 19-year-old to start throwing her boyfriend’s belongings out of the apartment.

Police say the man began arguing with his grandmother when he went into the apartment to retrieve his young child.

Police spokesman Lt. James Espinoza says the girlfriend was arrested for punching the man in the face during the argument.
