Deputies Arrested Distraught Teen Daughter for Attacking Mother in Williams

The Josephine County Sheriff's Office arrested a distraught teenage girl for attacking her mother in the Williams area early yesterday.

The Sheriff's Office reports deputies responded to a domestic disturbance at a home on Tetherow Road on Wednesday around 6 a.m..

Deputies said a woman called 9-1-1 to report that her 17-year-old daughter was upset because her father may be going to prison. The caller said her daughter was throwing things in her bedroom and she flipped over a dresser. When the woman went to console her daughter, the girl responded by punching her several times in the face.

Upon arrival, deputies interviewed both parties and observed a raised bump on the mother's forehead along with abrasions and scratches on the side of her neck and her arms. The daughter stated that her mother also punched her, but there was no evidence of any injury.

The daughter was placed into custody, transported to Grants Pass and lodged at the Josephine County Juvenile Justice Center for 4th-Degree Domestic Assault. The Oregon Department of Human Services was notified about the incident.
