32-year-old Amanda Kay Clark caused a disturbance at The Rusty Nail around 2:40 a.m. on July 6th. Responding officers spoke with the security at the establishment, who informed them that Clark was intoxicated, assaulted a DJ, and was refusing to leave. The bar staff said they wanted her off the premises and did not wish to press charges. Then, officers talked with Clark, who admitted that she was intoxicated and told them where she lived before yelling obscenities at the business’ employees. Officers told her she could get a courtesy ride home or go to jail for public intoxication. Then, Clark asked if she could go to her car and lock it before she left. Officers allowed this and escorted Clark to her car, during which she started screaming at them and the bar staff, so officers detained her. While in handcuffs, Clark sat on the ground, started yelling, and began throwing a child-like temper tantrum. Officers helped her get on her feet and walked her to the patrol car as she continued screaming obscene outbursts.
Then, officers told Clark they were going to search her, to which she responded, “No the f*ck you’re not!” and became resistive, flailing her body. Instead of searching Clark, officers placed her inside their vehicle, where she bashed her head three times against the window. Clark then yelled, “I like it rough! This is not the first time I’ve been f*cked in handcuffs! Tighten these cuffs tighter, or I am going to keep doing it!” Officers opened the door to prevent Clark from hitting her head again and called an ambulance to check for possible injuries. While alerting the medics, officers closed the door, and Clark kicked the window about three times. When officers told her to stop, she said, “Or what?” before kicking an officer’s leg, so officers hobble-restrained her feet. Throughout her encounter with the police, she stated, “I am going to kill you, you f*cking pig!” multiple times. Medics arrived, evaluated her, and declared she was healthy enough to transport. Then, Clark was placed back into the patrol car, where she wet herself. Clark was taken into custody for two counts of assault of an officer, resisting arrest, damage to government property, disorderly conduct, and public intoxication.
