THOMPSONVILLE – A woman recently gave Williamson County Sheriff’s deputies some problems after they responded to a report about an unauthorized person sleeping in a resident’s vehicle in Thompsonville. The resident reported that they could not get her to wake up or leave the vehicle.
According to the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office, deputies arrived at the home in the 14000 block of Somer’s Church Road in Thompsonville during the early morning hours of Oct. 24. That’s where deputies found the woman occupying the owner’s vehicle.
The woman, identified as Scotie M. Slaten, had to be assisted out of the back of the vehicle and refused to cooperate or follow deputies instructions. Once out of the vehicle, Slaten attempted to resist and flee. Her flight was restricted but she continued to actively resist.
Slaten was handcuffed but continued to resist by knocking flashlights out of deputies hands, kicking one deputy in the leg several times, and by trying to pull away from deputies while being walked to a patrol car.
Slaten was issued citations for Criminal Trespass to a Motor Vehicle, Resisting/Obstructing a Peace Officer, and Aggravated Battery to a Peace Officer.
Slaten was taken to the Williamson County Jail in reference to the above charges as well as an outstanding warrant for her arrest out of Franklin County for Aggravated Battery.
