A Harford County jury found Natasha Fowlkes guilty of first-degree assault Thursday night for her role in the Thanksgiving weekend attack that left an Edgewood man partially paralyzed.

Fowlkes, 32, was one of two adult women charged in the brawl that started earlier that week with two teenage girls bickering over a man dating them both. The crowd left 44-year-old Gregory Simmons paralyzed from the waist down by a knife to his spine, prosecutors said.
