Malicious Wounding Charge Filed Against Arlington Woman: Police

ARLINGTON, VA — Arlington County Police arrested a local woman and charged her with pinning another woman against a dumpster with her car and causing injury, according to the daily crime report.

Officers were dispatched around 5:25 p.m., Saturdays to the 200 block of N. Glebe Road for the report of unknown trouble. When the officers arrived, they learned the victim had been engaged in a verbal dispute and physical altercation earlier in the day with a person who was known to her. The victim had been assaulted but denied prosecution and medical attention at that time.

The verbal dispute continued as the two women traveled together in the suspect's car. When the victim exited the vehicle in the parking lot of a business, the suspect struck her with the vehicle and pinned her against a dumpster. The vehicle then drove away before police arrived.

The victim had received serious, but not life-threatening injuries, according to police. She was taken to an area hospital for treatment. During their investigation, police identified the suspect and obtained a description of the vehicle involved in the incident.

Around 8:51 a.m., Sunday, ACPD located the parked vehicle in the area of 2nd Street S. and S. Fillmore Street. It was occupied by the suspect and a second individual.

Police arrested Toccara Puller, 36, of Arlington, and charged her with malicious wounding, felony hit and run, and possession of a Schedule I/II Controlled Substance. She is being held without bond.

The second individual gave police a false name but he was later identified and it was determined that he was not connected to the hit and run incident. However, police determined he was wanted out of the City of Alexandria and was in possession of a concealed weapon and controlled substance.

ACPD arrested Joshua Fletcher, 41, of Washington, D.C., and charged him with carrying a concealed weapon, identity theft, and possession of a Schedule I/II Controlled Substance. He is being held without bond.
