MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. — A 42-year-old woman from Broward County was behind bars on Thursday in Miami-Dade County, accused of threatening to shoot a driver during a parking dispute.

Police officers arrested Kiara Johnson, of Hollywood, on Wednesday at Target, at 21265 Biscayne Boulevard, in Aventura, according to a police report.

The victim told police officers that she was inside her parked car when Johnson parked her car next to her, according to a police arrest report.

The victim reported that Johnson had parked so close to her car that she decided to move, which upset Johnson, and there was an argument, according to police.

The victim reported Johnson then “pulled out a firearm from her purse” and told her to get out of the car, according to the police report.

The victim called 911, and she “described the firearm as black with either yellow or orange on it” after “feeling her life was in danger,” according to police.

Johnson walked out of Target and she “admitted to having a firearm inside her purse,” which “she normally carries,” according to police.

“She confirmed both parties got into an argument over the close parking,” but she denied using the gun to threaten the victim, according to police.

Corrections booked Johnson at 5:10 p.m. on Wednesday at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where she remained on Thursday evening.

Johnson faced a charge of aggravated assault with a firearm. Her bond was $5,500.
