Woman fights tooth and bag to avoid arrest
September 15, 2007, 12:43 AM
Police answered a call about a woman on the ground. In the alley of the 7100 block of Stanley, they found Brandy L. Miller, 31, of the 700 block of west Barry, Chicago. Her left pant leg was torn from the hip to the hem and police noticed the odor of alcohol on her breath. Asked why she was on the ground, the woman said she fell off a third-floor porch and her lungs were hurting her. She had no visible injuries.
An ambulance came. Miller grew uncooperative and began to say she did not fall. She told police she was not going anywhere in an ambulance, and if they tried to make her do so, they were “going to be boxing.”
Miller refused to answer paramedics’ questions and tried to get cigarettes from her handbag, which was placed on the hood of a squad car. An officer told her she could not smoke just now, but needed to let the paramedics do their job. Police said Miller grew combative, grabbing an officer’s hand and swinging her fists. She managed to grab her handbag off the car and tried to strike the officer with it. She also tried to bite his arm. Two officers were able to take her into custody. Miller was charged with resisting arrest and battery to a police officer.
