A New York woman is facing several charges after she was reportedly caught with narcotics in her vehicle in addition to attacking officers in the ambulance and at the hospital.
Just after midnight on March 14, a 24-year-old woman from Bayside was parked near a highway onramp and sitting in her vehicle when officers from the Teaneck Police Department showed up at the scene. The woman was reportedly complaining of pain and behaving erratically, and an ambulance was sent to the scene so she could be taken to the hospital for assessment and treatment. The officers searched the woman, who they determined was intoxicated, and allegedly found a baggie containing a pink substance. They believed it was a narcotic containing ketamine and MDMA which is known on the street as “pink cocaine.”
According to reports, the ride to the medical center was rough. Police were in the ambulance with the woman and the first responders, when she allegedly became violent and began thrashing her arms and legs. The authorities asserted that she was trying to hit and kick them. When they arrived, the woman reportedly caused one of the officer’s injuries by biting him hard enough to break the skin.
