The victim further advised they had been involved in a verbal altercation while at the Food Lion in Callaway.
The defendant, who was identified as Barbara M. Adams, 32, of Avenue, became upset, “due to it being her birthday and the victim asking her to purchase propane,” according to charging documents.
