Anastasia Sanchez hits police officer after blocking Demonbreun Street

30-year-old Anastasia Sanchez was one of three drivers blocking the Demonbreun Street and 4th Avenue South intersection on September 17th, 2023. After officers observed this, they instructed them to vacate the roadway, which Sanchez refused repeatedly. Sanchez claimed she had to make a delivery and needed to go in the prohibited direction. When officers requested her driver’s credentials, she asked them if they were police, to which they replied, “Yes.” Sanchez stated, “Then, you are supposed to help me,” before bumping into Officer Ken Raymond Mahoney with her vehicle and driving away. A warrant was issued for her arrest on September 20th, 2023. Sanchez was taken into custody for aggravated assault on a first responder and evading arrest on June 18th, 2024.
