Six deputies hurt
In the scuffle, she injured six deputies, biting one on the arm and breaking the skin, and kicking another in the groin, Rivarde said. They were treated there by paramedics.
All the while, Epstein shouted that the deputies were going to lose their jobs or end up in jail, boasting that she was related to powerful people and that her uncle is a friend of former President Donald Trump, Rivarde said. Chris Christie did not return messages left Friday at two telephone numbers associated with him.
Seven deputies were needed to handcuff Epstein to a wheelchair, so that she could be moved to the airport security office, Rivarde said. She continued to shout vulgarities and try to bite deputies, he added.
They booked Epstein with six counts of battery on a police officer, three of disturbing the peace, one of resisting arrest by force and one of remaining after forbidden, Rivarde said. She paid $10,750 bail and was released from the Jefferson Parish Correctional Center later on Thanksgiving Day.
Well were they?
Good thing she wasn’t on GF happy powder and they didn’t kneel on her neck huh? Folks who think one cop should be ABLE to subdue someone with little effort don’t have a clue. I helped an auxiliary LEO one time who was being gotten the best of and it was a struggle even though I had the guy from behind with his arms up and my fingers interlocked on the back of his neck. We won in any case. Of course I was a LOT younger then. 😯😎
