Hunter told deputies she and the other woman were in an argument that stemmed from the night before where law enforcement was also called, the arrest affidavit said. 

The victim was found inside on the floor next to her wheelchair, the report said. She said Hunter pushed her chair and knocked it over. Hunter, however, said the woman fell while trying to hit her, the report said.
