Two women were arrested in Montgomery County after a fight stemming from an argument over the last pair of pants in a particular size, police said.

Andrea N. Williams, 22, of Gaithersburg, and Ethelyn R. Gladney, 21, of Montgomery Village, were both charged with second-degree assault, disorderly conduct, failure to obey a reasonable and lawful order, and disturbing the peace, according to Montgomery County police. They were both released on bond.

Shortly before 1 p.m. Saturday, police went to the Body Central Store in Lakeforest Mall, located at 701 Russell Ave. in Gaithersburg. Officers saw the two women punching each other and wrestling on the ground, and police separated them, police said.

About 25 people were in the store during the fight, including family and friends of each of the women. Additional police units were called to the scene to control the crowd.

Williams and Gladney both declined medical treatment.
