A Marshall woman was arrested early Wednesday, June 17, on suspicion of resisting arrest and assaulting a law enforcement officer, according to a Saline County Sheriff's Department report.

The woman was taken into custody shortly before 2 a.m. at a Malta Bend residence after she allegedly kicked a deputy in the leg, pushed a chair at him and threw herself on a sofa and on the floor in an attempt to resist arrest.

Deputies were called to the residence to investigate a complaint that the woman was yelling and threatening others.

Initially, the complainant asked deputies to remove the woman from the residence, but she allegedly continued to yell and refused to cooperate after deputies arrived.

I would guess it was probably not her fault. I'm fairly certain someone will defend this knucklehead. Good job Saline County.
