Nicole Renee Green is free on bond after the incident on February 21, where officers were dispatched to Midas Muffler and Brake Shop at 1101 N. Lorraine after a vehicle struck the building.
The occupants of the vehicle, 28-year-old Daniel Newburn, 42-year-old Stacey Plantz and 39-year-old Michael Beason, reported they were at Walmart and were confronted by Green in the parking lot. After a brief argument, Newburn, Plantz and Beason left the parking lot and drove south on K-61.
