POLK COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE CASE #: 25-5530
On February 8th, a person pulled up to a gas pump at the Shell station at 1821 State Road 559 in Polk City.

The child was not injured.
The woman then began striking the victim's vehicle with her fist, while holding a key. The key caused gouge marks on the vehicle.
The woman then kicked the rear of the vehicle, causing dents.
The suspect is an Asian female, and she drove away in a blue Hyundai Sonata with a California license plate.
