already been called, and when they arrive a few minutes later, Melonie is

Sarah grabs the womans hair and drags her half way across the room,
where the two start swinging fists at one another, until the bouncer gets
them separated. In her rage, Sarah didnt even notice that the woman is
pregnant, but this means she is in a protected class in most jurisdictions.
When the police arrive, Sarah, who started the fight, is arrested and charged
with aggravated assault. Sarah has committed a felony.
