A local resident told paNOW the majority of the damage was done to the side mirrors, which can be a very expensive venture to repair.

Upon arrival at police detention, the woman became uncooperative and lunged at a police officer. As a result of this investigation, the 20-year-old woman has been charged with assaulting police, and mischief under $5,000 (x25).

As of Monday, she had not appeared in court and a date had not been set.
