A Kent woman was arrested Nov. 29 for investigation of third-degree felony assault for allegedly kicking a Renton Police officer in the knee, according to Renton Police.
The incident occurred at about 3 a.m. at the Silver Dollar casino at 3100 East Valley Road when the suspect refused to leave the casino property, according to police. The suspect had fought physically with the manager and a security officer, according to the police report.
When officers arrived, the suspect was on the ground. An officer asked her to stand up. She swore at officers and made threatening motions with clenched fists, according to police. She tried to grab an officer and at that point, she was handcuffed.
She was placed in a police car, where she hit her head against the steel bar across the window. A manager told officers she had argued with another patron and asked that the woman not be allowed to return to the casino for 90 days.
The suspect refused to sign the trespass order and became belligerent, according to police. Officers warned her, then attempted to escort her from the casino property. Still taking a threatening stance, she was arrested. She twice kicked an officer in the knee.
She was booked into Renton City Jail.
