One of the deputies later made conatct with Blocker, who confirmed the argument but claimed Smith hit her, breaking her dental partial. Blocker’s face and nose were reportedly swollen.
Smith and Blocker both admitted to have been drinking. They denied medical attention and were transported to the detention center without incident.
Blocker was released on a bond of $1,000, and Smith was let out on a $500 bond.
