A woman arrested by police officials for domestic battery was also charged with police battery after wiping her nose on the back of an officer's shirt.
In an incident that took place Friday, 36-year old Georgia Ann Newman was arrested for biting and slapping a man. While being led away, she allegedly wiped her nose on the officer's shirt while being led into the police station for booking procedures.
The Charleston Daily Mail said that on top of her charge for domestic battery, Newman was also charged with battery on a police officer - something that is defined as the intentional physical contact of an insulting or provoking nature towards a police officer.
The previous charge of domestic battery, according to the AP, was because of a police report filed by a Cpl. S.E. Elliott, who claimed he saw Newman slap a man, and then bite his elbow. When the man backed away, Newman was said to have spat in his face.
