Florida woman spits on deputies, violently bangs head on patrol car, officials say

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Florida woman, who deputies said was “highly intoxicated,” spit on deputies and banged her head on their patrol vehicle after being detained.

The Flagler County Sheriff’s Office responded to a duplex on Farraday Lane in Palm Coast on Friday evening regarding a report of an intoxicated woman.

The woman, identified as Julia Jones, 40, was seen on bodycam struggling to stand upright and remain balanced. Jones was asked to stand near the vehicle to keep from swaying into oncoming traffic.

“Where’s your freaking camera, yo?” the woman asked.

A deputy responded with, “Yo, it’s right here,” while pointing to his body camera.

In the video, the deputy tells Jones to back up as she becomes aggravated and begins to scream at them. As another responding deputy attempts to read her her rights, Jones becomes belligerent.

At one point, Jones spits on the deputies, who struggle to get her into the car.

Three pills containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone were discovered during a search of her backpack. Jones was arrested on charges of disorderly intoxication, battery on a law enforcement officer, and possession of hydrocodone.

She was briefly taken to a hospital for medical clearance after banging her head on the car before she was taken to jail. Jones posted a $7,500 bond and was released.

“This woman disrupted a peaceful neighborhood and then continued to berate and attack and spit on deputies,” Sheriff Staly said. “If you spit and attack a Deputy Sheriff we guarantee you a trip to the Green Roof Inn.”
