Witnesses told police the current girlfriend had run into a guard rail on the road next to Walmart near the parking lot. The ex-girlfriend, identified as Adrain Chante Stargell, 32, arrived and tried to open the current girlfriend’s car door. When she couldn’t, she began kicking the door in, witnesses said.

She was arrested and charged with felony criminal damage for causing more than an estimated $500 damage to the car and misdemeanor simple battery.
