The woman's 15-year-old daughter allegedly had a dispute on Facebook with a 17-year-old girl before the two confronted each other at West Towne Mall, according to the police incident report.

Multiple officers had to respond to the first situation Jan. 27, when someone reported a large disturbance outside of the home of the 17-year-old on New Berm Court.

Officers cited the woman for Contributing to the Delinquency of a Minor as a misdemeanor after the first incident, Madison Police Department spokesperson Joel DeSpain said.

The second incident occurred early Saturday after another heated encounter between the two girls at the mall, DeSpain said.

After Saturday's incident, officers took the woman to jail.
