SEQUIM — It was no silent night Monday at Big Lots discount store on East Washington Street.
An disagreement between two shoppers led to a physical brawl and fourth-degree assault charges against a Port Angeles woman who witnesses say decked not the halls, but a fellow shopper who took a Christmas decoration from her cart.
“Everybody’s just watching this and thinking, “Merry Christmas!”‘ said Sequim Police Sgt. Sean Madison.
Officers were called to the store in Bell Creek Plaza just after 7 p.m. by an employee who said two women were involved in a scuffle and one of them appeared to be mildly injured.
