According to the affidavit, the incident happened Wednesday in the 2300 block of Avenida Rancho Viejo.
Vega’s mother told the responding sheriff’s deputy that she and her daughter were having a “verbal altercation” and that Vega walked into the kitchen area and “grabbed a silver pointed fork,” the affidavit stated.
“While in the kitchen area, Kadence swung and attempted to strike” the grandmother “with the fork using her right hand,” the affidavit read.
