Singer and R&B Divas cast member Angie Stone has been arrested in Atlanta.
She’s been charged with domestic aggravated assault.
There are no other details about her arrest at this time, according to DeKalb police Capt. Stephen Fore.
Unfortunately for Angie, this isn’t the first time she’s been arrested. Back in 2001 she was arrested while driving to church after being caught speeding and driving on a suspended license — this incident seems a little more serious though.
We’ll keep you posted when more information becomes available.
UPDATE: Police say Angie was arrested after she hit her 30-year-old daughter with a metal stand and knocked her front teeth out.
According to a DeKalb County police incident report, Angie Stone said Diamond Stone hit her in the face with closed fists first. Diamond Stone and Blondy Chisolm, a family friend who witnessed the Monday night altercation, told police they were not sure who threw the first blow.
The spat, according to Diamond Stone, started when Angie Stone entered her daughter’s room, demanded that she clean it up and ordered her to control her children, who were running around the singer’s Rogers Lake Road home half naked.
“Ms. Diamond Stone then went on to state that Ms. Angie Stone started (getting) in her face, telling her she needed to leave because she is tired (of) her,” police said in the report. “Ms. Diamond Stone then stated her and Ms. Angie Stone started to argue, and that’s when a physical altercation started to occur.”
Angie Stone, 53, told police she did not know she hit her daughter with a metal stand.
“Once she realized this,” police said in the report, “she quickly put the stand down and attempted to get away from Ms. Diamond Stone. Ms. Angie Stone then stated while she tried to get away, Ms. Diamond Stone continued to come after her as if to strike her again but stated that Ms. Blondy Chisolm came to break up the fight.”
Diamond Stone’s version of the story is different. According to the report, she walked away after Angie Stone struck her in the face with the metal stand and called police. Both women were taken to DeKalb County Police Department headquarters for questioning. Diamond Stone was released with no charges. Stone is being held in the DeKalb County Jail on a charge of domestic aggravated assault.
