A juvenile acquaintance allegedly committed battery Jan. 15, possibly by throwing an item at 19-year-old Carlsons’ Grocery employee Noah Slater of Florence. He reportedly was uninjured.

The incident was reported at 3 p.m. that day by former Florence fire chief Mark Slater, who resides at the same address.
