By Nelson Daily Staff
A woman, who tried to feast on an officer, is facing a laundry list of charges following a late night altercation Monday with police and a renter said Nelson Police Sergeant Corey Hoy in a media release.
Hoy said NPD were called at 11:29 p.m. Monday to a downtown residence after a female refused to leave the rental suite.
Police determined that the female was threatening other tenants and becoming increasingly aggressive.
“The female was located in the residence and refused to leave as per the property renter and police’s request,” Hoy explained.
“In addition, the female refused to identify herself upon arrest.”
Hoy said as the female was being taken into custody, she became combative with police and was restrained.
“The female was transported to police headquarters where the female again fought with police, biting one member in the leg,” Hoy said.
The female was held in custody for a bail hearing and charged with Obstruction, Resisting Arrest, Assaulting a Police Officer and Failing to Leave a Premise when requested (Trespass Act).
Late night party turns into go around with NPD
Early Sunday morning (November 29) Nelson Police received a call of a fight in progress as a local business.
When police arrived they found a heavily intoxicated male was being removed from the business by staff.
During the arrest the male became combative with police and was taken into custody.
“Arresting members sustained minor injuries during the arrest,” Hoy said.
“Once the male was at police headquarters, the male again became combative with police and he was lodged in cells until sober.”
Hoy said the male was later released from custody and charges of Causing a Disturbance, Resisting Arrest, Assaulting a Police Officer, and being Intoxicated in Public are being recommended.
