Shirley Ann Knight, 62, was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, criminal mischief with property damage and resisting arrest.  She remained in the Escambia County Jail with bond set at $6,000.

Knight allegedly damaged two front porch columns at a home on Academy Street with a metal pipe before threatening the resident with the pipe.

As deputies tried to re-cuff Knight, she grabbed a deputies hand, scratching him. She then  attempted to claw two deputies and refused to get back in patrol vehicle, according to arrested report. Deputies picked her up and placed her inside the Tahoe. On the way to the jail, she starting spitting at the deputy and all over his vehicle, the report states.  The incidents were captured on video.

    @ Anne 1of2….As a veteran of over 32 years of Law Enforcement, and as many years of endless reams of reports, documents, etc., you think about writing a book, and you think there is no way people would believe this really happened. And some of it could not be printed anyway. Lord help us all.

    How on earth can these deputies stay sane? These deputies need to be writing a book and publishing it just before Christmas every year. I’d buy ten copies just to entertain my family and keep them laughing.

    Did they question the porch to see why it was attacked? It may have provoked her or made her trip and she couldn’t take it anymore.

    Report should have read, after receiving medical treatment for multiple injuries she was then transported to jail. No has any business putting their hands on a deputy period, crazy or not and.
