Judge Bill McKenzie told two women to grow up after hearing their testimonies during Wednesday’s session Batesville Municipal Court.
Moesha Mister, 106 Normandy, Batesville, and Qualisha Turner, 218 Pearson St., Batesville, both cross filed malicious mischief charges accusing each other of damaging their vehicles.
Turner filed charges on April 13 against Mister for damaging Mister’s car door and Mister filed charges the next day against Turner saying she broke her windshield.
Mister said, “Me and her had a fight at Lotts Store. She kicked my door.”
“What are you two fighting over?” the judge asked.
“She was walking towards me, I ain’t gonna let no one walk up to me,” she answered.
“But could you have driven off?” the judge asked.
“I ain’t gonna let no one walk up to me and I ain’t break her windshield,” she replied.
“So what are y’all fussin about?” the judge asked again.
Mister still refused to answer what the fight was over.
Turner testified, “I was just going up there to see why she was picking on me with my child in the car.”
“I just started hanging out with these girls she don’t like and now she’s pickin’” Turner said.
“The girls I hang out with are into it because of Derrick Fondren. Derrick is my cousin and he dates a girl I hang with,” she explained to the judge as why they don’t get along.
On April 13 Turner said Mister hit her window.
“So she filed charges the same day you filed charges?” asked McKenzie.
“We got to fighting later that day after she got out of jail on Vance Street,” Turner said.
“What was the fight about?” the judge asked.
“My windshield,” she replied.
Moesha M. Mister also had charges of disorderly conduct and simple assault on April 13.
Officer Adam Campbell’s testimony along with his body camera footage were entered into evidence.
The video showed Mister at Patton Lane Park with a large group of people gathered.
“She had her knife out,” the officer testified.
“I pulled my tasor out and arrested her,” he testified.
“She’d been to the department earlier to file charges/make a complaint saying Turner busted her windshield out,” he testified.
Video footage showed Mister cursing and screaming along with the knife in her hand as she was charging ready to fight.
It also showed the officer pull his tasor but he did not use it.
Mister was screaming and cursing as she was being cuffed in the footage.
“Did you  have a knife?” the judge asked.
“Yea,” she answered.
“Were you screaming and fussing?” McKenzie asked.
“Everybody was!”
“Well this is an easy case,” as he ruled Mister guilty of the disorderly conduct-simple assault charges resulting in a $656 fine.
The judge dismissed the malicious mischief charges against both Turner and Mister telling them to grow up.
