An altercation turned up the heat at a bonfire on Hollow Springs Road recently and resulted in a Chattanooga woman being arrested for assault. According to Cannon County Sheriff’s Department reports, deputies were called out to a residence on McMinnville Highway and spoke to Mr. Pat Parton. Parton got a call from his granddaughter that her mother had jumped her at a party and she wanted her and her sister to be picked up. Both were juveniles. The mother who happened to be Parton’s daughter was asleep in the back bedroom. The deputies woke the mother later identified as Allison Blair. Blair explained that she had gotten into an argument with the oldest of the two after she claimed her daughter jumped her while getting her keys from her car. Blair admitted that she had been drinking before her daughter took action. Deputies then got a statement from the younger daughter a little later. The daughter said that Blair took her and her sister to a party along with Blair’s boyfriend. A couple hours into the party, all three were ready to leave. The older daughter knowing Blair had been drinking and was under the influence was in the drivers seat when the fight broke out. Deputies interviewed the 15 year old girl and after seeing signs of assault probable cause was established and Blair was arrested and charged with Simple Assault. She will answer to the charge in Cannon County General Sessions Court on Sept 1st at 9 in the morning.
