Maricopa County Sheriff’s deputies report that a Fountain Hills woman faces potential aggravated assault charges after she allegedly pepper sprayed a neighbor on Monday, Nov. 7.

The woman and the male neighbor got into a verbal confrontation over the man leaving the door of their condo complex laundry open while he was doing laundry.

The woman said she lives adjacent to the laundry and wants to keep critters and those with potential criminal activity on their mind out of the laundry.

The man said he leaves the door open so he can hear when the laundry is done to return and pick it up.

The woman admitted to using the pepper spray, saying she feared for her safety when confronting the man. She had some of the spray on her hands and was treated by paramedics at the scene.

Deputies are submitting the report to the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office for evaluation on charges of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon.
