How to resolve AdBlock issue? CLEARLAKE, Calif. – A 19-year-old Lower Lake woman was arrested last week after she allegedly assaulted a wheelchair-bound woman for whom she had offered care services.
Katie Key was placed under citizens arrest and cited and released at the scene of the fight, according to Clearlake Police Chief Craig Clausen.
A Lake County News reader reported witnessing the confrontation, which occurred on Old Highway 53 near Highway 53 on Thursday, Dec. 1.
Clausen said the fight was reported to police shortly after 3 p.m. that day.
Key is alleged to have assaulted 46-year-old Christina Warrington of Clearlake, Clausen said.
“I don’t think this was just a random act,” Clausen said. “They definitely knew each other.”
Clausen said Key allegedly confronted Warrington, who was in a wheelchair. Key had worked as Warrington’s In-Home Supportive Services worker, Clausen said.
Warrington, who alleged that Key hit her, placed Key under citizens arrest, and officers then accepted that arrest and cited Key, Clausen said.
Warrington suffered minor injuries as a result of the fight, according to Clausen.
