Woman Sentenced For Weekend Altercation At Marion County Skating Rink

Marion County Sheriff's Office

A Marion County woman has been sentenced to ten days in jail for a scuffle at a skating rink last Saturday.  

Prosecutors say Petra Smith grabbed the head of a teen and pushed it back during an altercation with several boys. Smith worked at the rink and has since been fired.  She will also serve two years' probation for her assault conviction, and must write a letter of apology to the teen.

Jim has been with WCBE since 1996. Before that he worked as a reporter at another Columbus radio station, and for three newspapers in Southwest Florida.
