Airport officers responded to a report of a fight on September 21, 2023. The investigation revealed that the suspect, a woman, had vandalized multiple businesses, spat on an individual, and struck an elderly woman with a closed fist, causing a minor laceration. Witnesses described how the woman had attacked the elderly woman in the airport terminal, hitting her with a phone and spitting on several people. Despite the victims’ wishes to press charges, officers arrested the woman on a disorderly conduct charge.
The woman, identified as Officer Link, repeatedly orders the woman to stand up, put her hands behind her back, and not resist. The woman refuses to comply and resists being arrested, leading to additional charges for resisting an officer. The woman argues with the officers and refuses to walk or provide her wallet and ID. The situation escalates, with the woman continuing to resist and the officers threatening to push her.
She argues with the officers about the meaning of disorderly conduct and refuses to comply with their orders. The woman is eventually searched and taken into a patrol car, where she continues to resist and try to keep her glasses from being damaged. Despite her resistance, the officers manage to get her into the car and transport her away.
She becomes agitated and refuses to comply, using profanity and resisting their attempts to involve law enforcement. The woman was later charged with elder abuse, assaulting a first responder, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct, and vandalism for her actions towards a senior citizen and airport personnel during the incident.
