A Florida woman was arrested after being found highly intoxicated, spitting on deputies, banging her head on their patrol vehicle, and being in possession of hydrocodone.
The incident occurred on Friday evening in Palm Coast, Florida, when deputies from the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of an intoxicated woman. Upon arrival, they encountered Julia Jones, 40, who was struggling to stand upright and remain balanced.
When asked to step away from traffic, Jones became agitated and began screaming at the deputies. As another deputy attempted to read her her rights, Jones became belligerent and spat on them. A search of her backpack revealed three pills containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone, leading to her arrest.
Jones was charged with disorderly intoxication, battery on a law enforcement officer, and possession of hydrocodone. She was briefly taken to a hospital for medical clearance, where she banged her head on the car before being taken to jail. Jones posted a $7,500 bond and was released.
“This woman disrupted a peaceful neighborhood and then continued to berate and attack and spit on deputies,” said Sheriff Staly. “If you spit and attack a Deputy Sheriff we guarantee you a trip to the Green Roof Inn.”
