Reporter Abigayle Sloan thought it was another typical day reporting the news when she walked into Weeks Towing & Auto Repair, near Grand Rapids, on Monday afternoon. She was there to cover the aftermath of the pileup on North US-131 from the weekend. "I thought I was going there to cover a story about the big pileup, turns out I became part of it." Sloan said.
Police say Tiffany Nealous, 34, her young son, and boyfriend walked into Week's to pay a towing bill. Nealous got upset after an employee rang up her total, the argument escalated. After punching, kicking, and scratching Carl Jones, a shop employee, Nealous eventually called 911 herself, she smashed the phone before dispatcher's could respond.

Her child is heard screaming in the video as her boyfriend tries frantically to get her out, only further aggravating Nealous. Abby eventually was able to retreat to a back room and call 911, Nealous hears her, and starts smashing in the door. A few moments later it's quiet, and Carl Jones starts accessing the damage. "She busted our windows, the bosses computer..."
Carl suffered some bruises and scratches, aside from the shock, he's OK. A warrant has been issued for arrest of Tiffany Nealous of Grand Rapids. Police say she could be charged with felonious assault, malicious destruction of property, and interfering with a 911 call, all felonies.
