Investigators say the argument escalated to the point where one of the women began sending threatening text messages to the other between 12:45 p.m. and 1:24 p.m. that day.

About half an hour after the last text was sent, officers found the woman and made an arrest.

The 25-year-old is scheduled to appear in a Guelph courtroom Aug. 15.
