A Florida woman was arrested early Monday morning after allegedly kicking a Plymouth police officer while being taken into custody.
According to Plymouth Police, officers responded to a reported physical domestic disturbance near the AT&T store on Pilgrim Lane around 12:43 a.m. on November 9.
When officers arrived, they found a man and woman lying on the sidewalk. During the investigation, police said the woman, identified as 34-year-old Kimberly Findley of Port Orange, Florida, appeared highly intoxicated and became argumentative with officers.
Police said Findley yelled obscenities at officers and the man despite repeated instructions to calm down.
According to the release, a preliminary breath test indicated a blood alcohol concentration of 0.182%, although officers noted the sample was poor.
As officers attempted to handcuff Findley, police said she physically resisted and kicked an officer while being placed into a patrol vehicle.
Findley was taken to the hospital for medical clearance before being transported to the Marshall County Jail.
She was arrested on preliminary charges of battery on law enforcement, resisting law enforcement and public intoxication.
