A Nashville woman was arrested on June 12 after police responded to a fight in progress on North Jefferson Street.
Nashville Police Officer Brenton Barrow broke up the fight and separated the two women, his report said. The victim said she was checking on Karen V. Hardin’s husband when Hardin allegedly “got in her face” and started threatening her, his report said.
Hardin then punched the victim in the face and began to beat her. Barrow reported she had a bloody nose, several abrasions on her arm and scratches on her neck.
Hardin, 45, of North Jefferson Street, told Barrow she was tired of the victim “running her mouth,” so she hit her in the face, the police report said.
Hardin was arrested and taken to jail. She was charged June 25 with battery resulting in bodily injury, a Class A misdemeanor.
