After arriving and assessing the situation, police determined the 21-year-old victim had injuries consistent with being assaulted. She went on to claim her sister had also thrown a laptop at a wall.

As police were arresting the 24-year-old suspect, she allegedly spit at one of the officers, hitting him in the forehead.

She is expected to make her first court appearance on Feb. 28.
