According to a probable cause statement obtained by Law & Crime, Cofield allegedly attacked a female friend of her ex-boyfriend at a roller-skating rink to send him a message. She then allegedly posted about the attack on social media and sent the victim a direct message discussing the attack and admitting to striking the victim with a skate and continuing to beat her.
