The answer is … Yes

It was a Friday morning when Englewood police were called to an apartment to check on the welfare of a woman.

When officers arrived, the woman said she was fine and had no plans to hurt herself. “What? Do you think I’m stupid?” Officers reported the woman appeared to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol and was upset about a visit from police the night before.

During that visit when the woman complained about harassing text messages, officers had arrested her boyfriend on an unrelated warrant.

After officers returned to their cars and began leaving, one saw the woman break out the front window of her apartment with her hand. She then dialed 9-1-1 and “screamed and cursed at the dispatcher regarding her displeasure with the police department”, according to the police report.

As officers were returning to the front door, they saw the woman break out the remaining glass in the front window with a metal baseball bat. She then piled chairs in front of the front and back doors of the apartment and walked upstairs.

Officers used a master key to open the apartment and ordered the woman to come down the stairs. She did with a cigarette in one hand and cell phone in the other as she spoke on the phone, ignoring orders to place her hands behind back.

When officers tried to cuff her, she resisted. Eventually, one officer Tazed the woman so she could be cuffed. She was evaluated by EMTs, but declined further medical treatment beyond treatment for a cut on her arm, apparently from breaking the window. She was cited for disorderly conduct and criminal damaging, both misdemeanors.

While on the way to the county lockup, she used the backseat of the police cruiser as a restroom. She remains in the lockup on $3,000 bond.
