A Pittsburgh mother was arrested, let go, and arrested again after she allegedly assaulted a school teacher.

Daishonta Williams, 29, was arrested on Wednesday, Oct. 18, for smashing the face of Janice Davis Watkins, 46, with a brick. But police had to let her go, because the officers couldn’t reach the Allegheny County District Attorney’s Office to get permission to charge her.
