A woman was jailed for allegedly assaulting a public safety officer on Tuesday.

A Douglas County Sheriff’s Office report said just before 12:00 p.m. a call came in that the suspect had stabbed a woman in the 100 block of Kiss Court in Green. The suspect then called and said she accidently hit the victim with a knife that she was throwing towards the sink.

The report said a deputy arrived on the scene and started talking to the suspect. The 40-year old then yelled that she was going to kill herself an threw at object at the deputy. The deputy attempted to take the woman into protective custody, but she was actively resisting and trying to pull away. The woman was escorted to the ground and allegedly proceeded to kick deputies. She was eventually placed into handcuffs.

When attempting to get the suspect in the back of a patrol vehicle, she kicked a deputy again and was trying to pull away. The report said the suspect caused the deputy and a Winston Police officer to lose their grip, causing the woman to fall about six inches, with her face hitting the ground.

The suspect had a cut on her nose and was bleeding excessively. She was taken to CHI Mercy Medical Center and cleared before going to jail.
