(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte woman looked more like an ultimate fighter, perhaps, from the flurry of punches she landed before repeatedly kicking a police officer.
That is the picture drawn from the allegations 22 year old Hailey Murphy is facing in La Porte Circuit Court.
According to La Porte Police, the investigation shows Murphy on August 15 jumped on the hood of her car and began kicking the windshield following an argument with her boyfriend inside their apartment on Carriage Court.
Her hood was badly dented and her windshield cracked when she jumped down and began landing blows to the upper body of her boyfriend, police said.
Police said she was resisting efforts by officers to place her in handcuffs when she kicked the man in his mid-section.
Eventually, officers managed to place her in the back seat of a squad car but she began kicking the back passenger side window of the vehicle.
Police said the noise drew the attention of an officer, who after opening the car door was kicked by her in the chest multiple times hard enough to cause some of the gear on his tactical vest to fall to the ground.
She was placed in leg restraints and taken to the La Porte County Jail on charges of battery against a public safety officer, resisting law enforcement, domestic battery, public intoxication and disorderly conduct.
