MARTIN—A woman has been arrested following an altercation with U.S. Rep. David Kustoff and an aide Monday night after a town hall meeting at the University of Tennessee at Martin.

According to a news release from the Weakley County Sheriff's Office, Wendi Wright, 35, followed the vehicle Kustoff and aide Marianne Dunavant were in on U.S. 45, south of Martin.

The release says Kustoff and Dunavant had been at a town hall meeting on the UT-Martin campus prior to the incident.

Wright followed the vehicle, putting Kustoff and Dunavant in fear of being run off the road, the release says. The car eventually turned onto Old Troy Road and into a driveway of a person Kustoff and Dunavant knew, the release says.

When the two vehicles stopped, Wright got out and started screaming and hitting the windshield of Kustoff's car, the release says.

At some point during the incident, Wright reached inside their vehicle and then stood in front of the car in an attempt to block them in the driveway, the release says.

During the altercation, a 911 call was made, but Wright left before Weakley County Sheriff's Office deputies arrived.

Wright was identified by police after posting details of the altercation on Facebook.

Wright, of Obion County, was arrested by the Obion County Sheriff's Office on a warrant from Weakley County.

She has been released from custody on $1,000 bond, and is expected to be arraigned in Weakley County General Sessions Court Monday on charges of felony reckless endangerment.
