Police Say Woman Kneed, Spit on Omaha Officer During Confrontation

omaha-policeOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Omaha police say a 19-year-old woman assaulted and spit on an officer during a confrontation at a hotel early Sunday.

Officers were called to the Baymont Inn around 3 a.m. because a woman said her girlfriend had hit her, punched the hotel wall and stole her vehicle.

While officers were there, the suspect returned. Police say she kneed an officer and spat in the officer’s face. Once she was in custody, the woman repeatedly banged her head in the back of the police car.

The woman was treated at the Nebraska Medical Center before being taken to jail. She is suspected of assault, destruction of property, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest and felony assault on an officer.
