SOUTHAMPTON — A Maine woman denied charges in court Tuesday stemming from an incident Monday night during which she allegedly broke into her ex-boyfriend’s apartment and broke several items before assaulting local police officers and paramedics.
Sara C. King, 27, of Dixmont, Maine, pleaded innocent to charges of vandalizing property, disorderly conduct, trespassing, assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery on ambulance personnel and two counts of breaking and entering a building during the nighttime to commit a felony, according to court documents.
In court documents, police gave the following account of the arrest:
Officers responded to Wolcott Road at 8:35 p.m. Monday for a report that a man’s ex-girlfriend had broken into his apartment and was smashing glass items and verbally attacking him. After noticing that King's speech was slurred and she appeared to be under the influence of drugs, officers ordered her to leave the home. When being led from the premises, officers reported that King became combative and was subsequently arrested. While handcuffed, King again became combative, and violently bumped the two arresting officers, forcing all three to fall down a flight of stairs.
During booking, King spat on and attacked police, and after telling police she was having a medical emergency, she reportedly spit on an EMT three times while being transported to the hospital.
Judge W. Michael Goggins ordered King released on $500 personal surety; she is scheduled to appear in court for a pretrial hearing on Jan. 20.
