A 21-year-old woman originally arrested for public intoxication Friday night faces additional charges for resisting arrest with Orange police and later head-butting an Orange County corrections officer.
Orange Patrol Officer D.B. Mulhollan reported the woman told him she had taken a “molly” (ecstasy). He said the woman called 9-1-1 from apartments at 2600 Allie Payne Road at 7:53 p.m. Friday.
He found her in the parking lot. She said she had gone into an apartment with a man who gave her the molly. Then they listened to rap music and she thought he might be a threat; so she ran out.
Officer Mulhollan said because he couldn’t find anyone to watch her, he began to arrest her for misdemeanor public intoxication. She pulled away from him and another officer and tried to run away. It took two officers to get her into the patrol vehicle.
Then about 11 Friday night, Orange police were called to the Baptist Hospital Orange Emergency Room after corrections officers with the Orange County Sheriff’s Office took the woman for treatment.
Officer B. Latiolais reported the county officers took the woman in the jail van for medical reasons. The woman refused treatment at the hospital and then fought the corrections officer when they tried to get her back in the van. The woman had head-butted one of the corrections officers in her right eye and right side of the head. The injury to the officer turned the incident into an assault of a public officer.
Orange police are investigating gunshots fired at a car traveling near John Avenue at First Street early Wednesday morning.
The man went to a house on West Dewey Avenue to call police at 12:42 a.m. Wednesday. He told Officer M.T. Roush he left a part at John and Mill Street and heard four to five gunshots. He also heard a dinging sound off the passenger side door.
Officer Roush said police found a bullet hole on the driver’s side of the car. They also found a bullet casing and slug in the street at John and First. The bullet was a Smith and Wesson .40 caliber.
