She Was Told to Leave. Then She Turned It Into a Felony Arrest

What should have been a simple request to leave a business turns into a chaotic arrest.
A former employee arrives wanting to speak with the owner, but staff no longer want her there. Deputies initially try to keep things simple: leave the property, find a safe way home, and move on.
Instead, the encounter continues to escalate.
As deputies attempt to identify her and remove her from the property, her behavior becomes increasingly confrontational. What begins with arguing and refusing instructions eventually turns into allegations that she tried to kick officers and spit in a deputy's face.
According to the case outcome presented in the footage, she was charged with two counts of felony battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting without violence, and disorderly intoxication. She was ultimately adjudicated guilty on all charges except one battery charge, which was dropped, and received a four-month jail sentence with credit for time already served.
