<human>: Can you provide a brief overview of the text?

I got home from class today and my mother informed me that one of her employees filed charges for assault yesterday, and that she now has a warrant out for her arrest.

As far as Im concerned the situation is ridiculous. She told me the story of what happened last night. The employees call in when they check in their times, instead of using a punch card. There were some circumstances during the day, and my mother told the woman to go home for the rest of the day. The woman said no and proceeded to call in. My mom told her that she was going to take the phone, a few moments later she reached for it. The woman turned, and my mom doesn't really even know if she touched her.

Later on my mom called the police to have the woman removed from the building. When they arrived the woman told the police that my mom "clawed her" and later that day she filed charges. The HR Rep of my mom's company told her this morning that she has a warrant for her arrest. 

My mom does social work. She is more worried about losing her job  than going to jail. If she loses her job over this it will be devastating to our family, because they provide her transportation and they pay for our housing/food/and most of my college. She also doesn't have much money and CANNOT afford a lawyer. 

She is going in at 2:30 to the magistrates office. What does she need to do or say to keep herself out of jail.
<bot>: My mom doesn't think she assaulted her employee. The employee filed assault charges and now my mom has a warrant. Mom can't afford a lawyer, turning herself in soon. What should she do?
