A woman is facing assault and gun charges for allegedly pistol-whipping a clerk at a laundromat.
It happened last night on Hudson Avenue.
Police say Mahlaysia Johnson was angry when the clerk wouldn't refund money she put into a dryer that she broke.
Johnson hit the clerk with the gun and it went off, activating the ShotSpotter system.
Police stopped Johnson's car on Clifford Avenue, arrested her, recovered a gun, and turned over her child to a relative.
The charges also include reckless endangering and endangering a child.
