Mayfield and another woman then started to fight 10 feet from the officer. The officer pointed his stun gun at them and commanded them to stop fighting, which they did, the report states.

Police were told someone fired a gun at Mayfield’s vehicle while she was trying to run the man over, the report states.

Two bullet shell casings were found in a driveway on Ivanhoe Avenue, and Mayfield’s car had four bullet holes in it.
