At roughly 4:30 p.m., officers on bike patrol on the trail near McDonnel Street and Reid Street, spotted a woman wanted on warrants for assault, failing to comply with appearance notice, and failing to attend court.
When the woman saw the police, she started walking away in the creek, attempted to climb a retaining wall and then got back in the creek before she was taken into custody by police according to a police report.
While being walked to a nearby road, the suspect spat twice at one of the officers and then spat at the other while being placed in the police cruiser.
The woman was arrested on the warrants and further charged with:
Assault a peace officer X2
Fail to comply with probation
