Then, on Tuesday evening, a texting battle led to the arrest of an 18 year old on charges of aggravated battery, felony criminal damage to property, and obstructing the legal process. Salina Police were called to 305 E. Prescott #2 on the report of a fight. 20 year old Jamie L. Wood says she was inside her apartment when she heard loud noises outside and looked out and saw 18 year old Eternity Murray of 2265 Sherwood Lane, hitting her car with a softball bat. Wood confronted Murray, and Murray hit Wood with the bat, causing bruises to ribs and then scrapes to a knee when the two fell to the ground struggling with each other.

Murray got into a car and drove around a police patrol car that was blocking the drive of the parking of the apartment. She was stopped by another officer just a short time later. Damage to the car, including windows broken out and a dent to the hood, was estimated at $1,000.
