She was in jail for assaulting a public servant.
Once she refused a lawful order, the cop ordered her out of the car. She refused that lawful order at first as well. The cop attempted to handcuff her for officer safety since she was hostile (another lawful action). By law, cuffing doesn’t always mean a person is under arrest yet. She decided to fight the cop, elbowing him and kicking him, so he fought her to the ground to cuff her. At that time, he officially arrested her for assaulting a public servant.
She was NOT arrested for a traffic violation. She was NOT arrested for resisting arrest. She WAS arrested for assault the police officer.
So did her lawyer try to get her released, was that request refused?
