Staci Spence, 42, is expected to enter a plea in coming days
to a charge of malicious injury to property tied to allegations
she gnawed through the upholstery and foam cushioning of the
back seat of a patrol vehicle, according to Bonner County
Sheriff's Deputy Josh Florea.
He said deputies were called to a rural neighborhood outside the
northern Idaho city of Sandpoint last week after a couple
accused Spence, of nearby Colburn, of dousing them with pepper
spray,
Officers seeking to arrest Spence for battery found her “highly
intoxicated, kicking and fighting and screaming profanities,”
leading to additional misdemeanor charges of assaulting an
officer and resisting arrest, Florea said.
Deputies learned of Spence’s attack on their vehicle after
driving her to the county detention facility, where she is
jailed on $32,000 bond, he said.
Spence has been assigned a public defender, who declined comment
on Tuesday.
