Mom detained after disturbance at Aiken High
Aiken woman Crystal Pelt 40 was detained for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest after causing a scene registering her daughter at Aiken High School. She faced county warrants for animal vaccination violations, struggled with an officer, threw a soda cup, and attempted to bite the officer before being taken to the detention center. A separate report notes a North Augusta man awoke to a forced entry on Happyland Circle with theft of wallet, cellphone, and cigarettes, mistaken for a kitten noise.
