BROOKSVILLE, Fla. (CBS12) — A Florida woman was arrested Tuesday after deputies say she removed her pants, spat on a deputy, and was struck by a deputy during a confrontation.

According to the Hernando County Sheriff's Office, deputies responded to the Texaco gas station at 101 Ponce De Leon Blvd. around 2 p.m. after receiving reports of a disorderly woman causing a disturbance outside the business.

Deputies say employees reported that 33-year-old Iesha Field was yelling at customers, behaving erratically, and disrupting the business. Employees requested that she be trespassed from the property, and deputies issued a trespass warning.

After leaving the gas station, Field went to a nearby mobile home park on West Jefferson Street, where deputies said her disruptive behavior continued.

According to investigators, Field removed most of her clothing and was wearing her underwear while yelling and disturbing residents, including a mother with children. The resident also requested that Field be trespassed from the property.

Deputies say Field appeared to be under the influence and refused repeated commands to go home. Authorities noted that Field had pre-existing injuries to her right knee and left eye at the time of the encounter.

When deputies attempted to take her into custody, they said Field became combative, resisted efforts to place her into a patrol vehicle, and repeatedly attempted to hit and kick deputies.

Authorities say Field continued acting aggressively inside the patrol vehicle, repeatedly banging her head and feet against the windows. When deputies opened the vehicle door to address her behavior, she fell from the vehicle while moving around inside, according to the sheriff's office.

Deputy M. LaPalme helped Field back into the patrol vehicle, investigators said. During the encounter, Field allegedly spit on the deputy's face twice while he was attempting to secure her in the vehicle.

The sheriff's office said Deputy LaPalme responded by striking her in the face after the second incident.

"Spit on me again! See what happens," the deputy can be heard saying in body camera footage while holding Field by the neck.

His actions are currently under review.

Deputies reported that Field continued resisting during transport to the Hernando County Detention Center, leading officers to use additional restraints and a spit hood.

Field was booked for counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, a felony, and disorderly intoxication. She was booked into the Hernando County Detention Center and is being held on a $3,000 bond.

Struck just once? That deputy is a bastion of self control.

The link to the video in the story doesn’t work. Here’s a story about it with the video. I hope the investigation of the deputy for slapping her is just for show.

In my younger days I drank my fair share, though I assure you they elected me president of my fraternity org out of recognition for budding leadership skills, not for my partying. Still I don’t think I was ever as drunk as she and didn’t just pass out. She’s seriously f——d up

“Page not Found” which is probably a good thing.

When I see these pictures, I think she was once someone's beautiful little baby.

But raising children is like bowling - you can't change anything once the ball leaves your hand

she removed her pants...

And turned around and broke into an off key "Moon Over Miami" although she was in Hernando County.

I used to sell cigarettes in the CHicago Jyatt Regency Faber’s Sundry Shop. French guys were the only one buying Tareyton’s. They pronounced it “Tayr-ee-tens”.

Japanese bought Kents.

Upscale folks bought Benson & Hedges.
Some of the upscale ladies bought Misty.

Southerners were the only ones who bought Larks.

Black men bought Kools (pronounced “Kuhls”)

Black ladies bought Newport.

Most folks just bought Marlboro or Winston.

Top selling cigar was the $3 Macanudo (This was 1984)

It would sure be nice if people could learn the difference between crack and crank. I guess it doesn’t really matter if you think crack is methamphetamine but it is cocaine and doesn’t have the same effect on people. Only the people who do know the difference might laugh at you behind your back.

During the encounter, Field allegedly spit spat on the deputy's face twice while he was attempting to secure her in the vehicle.

The verb was conjugated properly in the headline.
