Disrupting public service
Inmate charged after terrorizing jail and raising a stink in cell: An involuntary guest at the Macedonia jail, who had been charged with domestic violence, earned an extra charge of disrupting public services July 9, after police allege she launched a tirade against officers- which lasted several hours and included kicking her food dish in her cell, repeatedly calling 911 from the day room and stuffing her cell bedding in the toilet.
According to police the woman had been arrested for domestic violence.
When officers brought her to the station, she refused to leave the car. When she finally did, the woman sat down and began to cry, refusing to stand. An officer had to lift her up so she could be frisked for weapons.
Once inside, the prisoner took umbrage at the latest style of jail attire and refused to change. After several requests by officers, the woman donned her assigned uniform.
While she changed, the woman refused to answer questions and cooperate with the booking officer, according to the police report.
Officers placed a meal at her feet inside the cell. The chow must not have been to her liking. She kicked the cup and food all over the cell, according to police.
Still not happy with the accommodations, the woman began to press the intercom button used for emergencies only, according to the report.
The prisoner continued to push the button multiple times which disrupted dispatch while they were taking priority calls, police allege.
An officer warned that she could receive additional charges for pushing the button. However, she continued to push the button – in front of the officer.
After police moved her to a different cell, she continued pressing the button and stuffed her bedding in the toilet, causing a backup on the floor. When told to remove it, the woman told officers she “wanted it there.”
Later, after the bedding was removed, the prisoner seemed to calm down, according to the report.
They were wrong.
The prisoner was allowed into the day room to get a book and watch TV. A short time later the woman began throwing books in a trash can and calling 911 from a day room phone.
The woman was taken from the day room to another cell, where she banged on the steel with her hands, according to police. She also continued to press the emergency button. She pressed the button more than 100 times, according police. She also attempted to make several more 911 calls. She was charged with disputing public services, a fourth-degree felony.
