Jennifer Rae White was arrested in Killeen on Sunday, after allegedly taking a hammer and using it to beat her neighbor’s car windows and front door. According to the Killeen Daily Herald, an arrest affidavit stated that police responded to the 700 block of Stetson Avenue in Killeen because White was reportedly 'punching out the front windows' of a residence there.

Trouble in a Killeen Neighborhood

This doesn't appear to be an isolated incident. A comment on the Killeen Daily Herald page mentioned that police had responded to previous complaints about White.

She was not just lightly tapping around, either. According to KPD, the front windows of the neighbor’s home had been 'shattered,' the front door had 'damage consistent with strikes from a hammer,' and all windows along with side mirrors on a vehicle were destroyed.

According to the affidavit, White was seen 'covered in blood and bleeding profusely', which makes sense if she was breaking glass with a hammer. Witnesses said that White had been yelling and screaming near the house earlier in the day, but no one could understand what she was saying.
