Dormont police responded to Vasta Lounge on April 18 at 1:30 a.m. for a report of several women fighting outside the bar.

According to the police report, the four women involved told police they had been yelling, but there had been no physical fighting. An officer escorted two women inside so they could pay their bar tabs, and all four were asked to leave.

Police said that while inside the bar, a fifth woman—identifed as Jayme Jones, 25, of Pittsburgh—began yelling at the officer and at another woman in the bar, claiming that the other woman also had been involved.

After refusing officers' requests to stop yelling, Jones was cited for disorderly conduct, according to the report.
