Smackdown at the Family Dollar
Officers responded to a report of an assault at the West Portsmouth Family Dollar just after 8 pm. A man said he’d arrived at the store to pick up his buddy’s car. He said a woman who was not supposed to be behind the wheel was driving, and he was there to retrieve the vehicle.
He said he had not yet approached the woman, but she got out of the vehicle and smacked him in the face.
Both parties left before police arrived, but witnesses said there was a verbal altercation between the two and that the man was carrying a weapon.
