LAWRENCE — Somewhere in Lawrence is a man with a lot of explaining to do.
Two women showed up at Lawrence District Court Thursday to support their boyfriend, only to find out he was two-timing the both of them.
When the two women learned they were dating the same man, they began to argue. Outside the courthouse, they got into a brawl which drew officers and a large crowd.
Grace Rosario-Torres, 20, of 151 West St., Lawrence, and Melissa Oliveira, 20, of 6 Huse Road, Methuen, were both charged with assault and battery and disorderly conduct, police said.
When officers arrived, Oliveira was on the ground with Rosario-Torres over her, the police report said. As the pair were told to separate, they began swearing and making motions toward one another and were arrested.
Oliveira told police she works as a teacher's aide and Rosario-Torres told police she works as a hairstylist.
