Liliana Duenas Allegedly Struck Another Woman With A Bat After Believing She Was Cut Off At A Drive-Through
(CBS) COVINA, Calif. -- In an alleged outbreak of road rage, a woman attacked another woman with a baseball bat in a Covina Taco Bell drive-through.
The incident took place on Thursday at 700 W. Arrow Highway around 1:30 p.m., according to Covina police Lt. Tim Doonan.
Both women, each driving a sport utility vehicle, arrived at the drive-through entrance at about the same time, Doonan told reporters.
Liliana Duenas, 24, of Pomona, became very angry after believing that she had been cut off. She and the other driver left their SUVs and began to argue. Duenas then pulled a baseball bat from her vehicle, according to the San Gabriel Tribune.
The other women went back to her SUV after the 5-foot-1-inch Duenas started swinging, the Tribune reported. She struck one the victim's vehicle and one of her arms, causing hundreds of dollars of damage, Doonan told the newspaper.
The SUV's door took the brunt of the attack and saved the victim, a 31-year-old Baldwin Park resident, from serious injury, Doonan told the Tribune.
Duenas was then arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and possession of an illegal weapon -- a set of brass knuckles that were found in her SUV during the arrest. According to the newspaper, she is being held in lieu of $30,000 bail, according to the newspaper.
