Charlotte Woman Forgets to Pick Up Hair After Bizarre Brawl with Another Woman After Breaking Into Her Home

A Charlotte woman left behind more than just a trail of bruises after a heated altercation at another woman’s home. Taquana Price, 35, is facing charges after allegedly breaking into her a woman’s apartment following a verbal spat that took place earlier in the evening.

According to court documents obtained by The NC Beat, the drama unfolded on Thursday, December 12, 2024, at around 1:40 a.m. Officers with the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department responded to a report of breaking and entering at an apartment located at 6925 Fernwood Drive. The victim, who requested anonymity, told officers that she and Price had been drinking at a friend’s house before things took a violent turn.

The two women got into a verbal altercation, after which the victim decided to leave and return to her home. However, it wasn’t long before the situation escalated. She said she heard banging on her living room window, only to discover Price had broken in through the window.

What followed was a dragged-out brawl, according to the court documents. The victim claimed she was able to overpower Price briefly, getting on top of her to “fight her off.” After the physical altercation, the victim said she forced Price out of the apartment, but not before leaving a noticeable mark on each other.

Officers arrived at the scene to find the victim with bruising, swelling, and visible blood on her face. Meanwhile, Price wasn’t in much better shape, with scratches and bruises of her own. Seems to us that Price’s the injuries weren’t from glass, suggesting they resulted from the beat down the victim put on her.

Price was later found hiding at a friend’s house in the same neighborhood. She was detained, read her rights, and admitted to assaulting the victim. Despite the severity of the altercation, Price was released on a written promise to appear in court.

Officers also reported finding strands of Price’s hair inside the victim’s home.

Grammy-Winning Gospel Singer Le’Andria Johnson Arrested for Public Drunkenness in South Carolina

Le’Andria Johnson arrested public drunkenness

Grammy Award-winning gospel artist Le’Andria Johnson, known for her powerhouse voice and anointing, is once again making headlines—and not for her music.

Johnson was arrested Monday, December 16, 2024 and spent the night in the Greenville County Detention Center in South Carolina after being arrested for public drunkenness and having an open container, according to court documents. 

According to VineLink, Le’Andria was booked Monday afternoon around 3:37 p.m. The incident marks yet another troubling chapter in Johnson’s well-documented struggle with alcohol. On Tuesday afternoon, Johnson was released from custody.

In a video she released, she thanked her supporters and shared that she is still battling alcohol addiction, describing it as a daily struggle.

“If y’all know me like ya know me… then you know this is a daily walk, and this has been a daily walk for me for some time now,” Johnson said in the video.

Details of Arrest

Officials in Greenville, told The North Carolina Beat that just before 3 p.m. on Monday, officers responded to BrickTop’s restaurant on North Main Street regarding a disturbance, including Johnson screaming at other patrons. Upon arrival, officers spotted Johnson walking on North Laurens Street while yelling profanities at a male walking with her.

Police Said Johnson Matched the Description

According to police, Johnson matched the description provided by the individual who filed the complaint.

Le’Andria Attempts to Hide Alcohol from Police

Police stated that when they stopped Johnson, she was holding a Styrofoam cup containing an amber-colored liquid with a strong odor, which she attempted to conceal. Officers also noted that Johnson exhibited signs of impairment, including slurred and incoherent speech, as well as swaying while standing.

Johnson was arrested and issued a $257.50 bond.

Fans will recall that back in 2019, the Sunday Best Season 3 winner publicly admitted to her battle with alcoholism, confessing that she drank daily without realizing the extent of her problem. One night, after leaving a bar, Johnson was arrested. Though at first, she managed to receive probation for that charge, she later violated it and served 30 days in jail.

In an attempt to turn her life around, Le’Andria even appeared on Iyanla: Fix My Life in March 2019, hoping to confront her demons and start fresh. But here we are, five years later, and it seems Johnson has found herself back at square one.

It’s heartbreaking to see someone as talented and anointed as Le’Andria Johnson allowing alcohol to steal her spotlight. With a voice that has lifted countless people closer to God, one has to know that alcohol can’t be better than JESUS!
