Cape Coral, FL - An 81-year-old woman was arrested for kicking an officer in the groin during a drunken outburst at a Southwest Florida restaurant.
According to police, the woman, identified as Clarella Potter, tried to punch restaurant staff at Fathoms Restaurant and Bar in Cape Coral.
Employees called the Cape Coral Police Department for assistance.
When officers arrived, they realized Potter was heavily intoxicated and asked if she had a family member who could take her home.
Potter's drunken behavior turned to anger and she grabbed an officer by the back of the neck.
Despite being moved to a quieter area, Potter continued to scream profanities and kicked officers, striking one officer in the groin.
On the way to jail, Potter threatened to kill the arresting officer.
Potter is charged with battery of a law enforcement officer, intimidation with threat of death or serious bodily harm, and disorderly conduct.

Never kick a waiter in the nuts.
And never in a seafood restaurant.

Yeah, maybe.
But cops today cannot defend themselves against crazy drunk idiots. If he took her down and she broke a hip or hurt herself in any way, he’d be fired and possibly charged with assault.
And grandma would collect a big windfall lawsuit.

81 year old drunk lady and the cop was so afraid of her he claimed
“intimidation with threat of death or serious bodily harm,”
he should not be a cop if he is so easily intimidated.

She doesn’t look too friendly but she looks pretty good for 81.

She threatened to kill him.
Death threats should always be taken seriously.
It requires almost no force to pull a trigger.

This is why I still have some remaining shred of support for the cops. Dealing with a drunk psycho witch like this is a no-win situation. Harm her in any way, and there will be lawsuits and charges. Handle her carefully, and get accused of being a pansy.
They did a pretty good job dragging her into the drunk-tank with nobody getting hurt. Charges seem appropriate.

I read a Science Fiction story once that had police forces that used what they called a "slapjack." It was a blackjack or more closely a sap that injected a knockout drug. That would be problematic in reality I know, but it beats summery executions the way we are heading.
