According to the complaint, law enforcement responded to a report of an assault at a beauty salon in Minneapolis. The woman told them she was at the salon on Oct. 4 when Pierce came in asking where the “b****” was at. She said Pierce was holding a black and red metal baseball bat.
The complaint says Pierce came at the woman and swung the bat at her. She said she blocked the bat multiple times and was able to take it away from Pierce. During the continued tussle, she said she fell onto the floor. While on the floor, she said Pierce kicked her in the left eye.
The woman said Pierce then grabbed a pot of hot water and poured it onto her. She went to North Memorial hospital after the incident and was diagnosed with second-degree burns on her neck and upper right arm.
