The incident began about 10 p.m. Sunday in the 2100 block of Third Street, where officers of the Perry Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance.
The officers made contact with the victim, who told the officers that Simmons “started hitting her,” according to court records.
The officers observed on the victim “a cut on her hand,” and they “could see blood on her shirt and on her pants,” according to court records.
The officers made contact with Simmons, who told the officers that “her mother hit her in the face, and then she hit her back in the face,” according to court records.
