~ncident Summary

Suspect was contacted as a subject of a shoplifting call from the east Walmart. Upon contact the suspect
attempted to flee the scene and was placed onto the ground to safely detain her. The suspect fought against
officers continuously and several controlling holds had to be used. The suspect sustained minor lacerations to
her wrists from the handcuffs and a small laceration to her chin. Photos were taken of the suspect and
uploaded to the case file as well as this blue team report. The suspect was asked several times if she wanted
medical attention and she either would not answer or start talking about something else and never asked for
medical attention. Once at LCJ the suspect complained of shoulder pain and the jail nurse determined she
had a possible shoulder injury. It’s unknown when the shoulder injury was caused due to the length of her
struggle against officers as well as her continuously try to escape her restraints in booking.
