A call about a disturbance resulted in the arrest of a 15-year-old girl on several charges after police said she spat on and scratched an officer.<\/p>\n
Jacksonville police initially were called at 7:03\u00a0p.m. Thursday to a report of a female causing a disturbance in the 300 block of East Lafayette Avenue. While investigating, officers recognized the teen as having an outstanding battery charge from a May incident in which an emergency medical worker was bitten.<\/p>\n
An Echo Ambulance crew was taking the girl for a mental health evaluation about 9:58 a.m. May 20 when an altercation ensued and an EMS worker was bitten and had to be treated for a hand injury, according to a police report.<\/p>\n
The girl was not arrested at the time because she still was being treated, police said.<\/p>\n
As she was being arrested on the charge of outstanding aggravated battery of an EMT worker, she spat on and scratched an officer, “causing the officer to have a minor laceration,” according to the report.<\/p>\n
A charge of aggravated battery of a police officer was added, according to the report.<\/p>\n
The girl later was released to her mother, police said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A call about a disturbance resulted in the arrest of a 15-year-old girl on several charges after police…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":205904,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[4613,116,118,117,115,4614,278],"class_list":["post-305539","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-jacksonville","tag-breakingnews","tag-jacksonville","tag-jacksonville-headlines","tag-jacksonville-news","tag-news","tag-pubnow","tag-top-stories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=305539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/305539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/205904"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=305539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=305539"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=305539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
