MOUNT WASHINGTON, Ky. (TCD) — An 18-year-old was arrested Saturday for allegedly stabbing a police officer in the face with a screwdriver while he tried arresting her.
According to the arrest citation cited by WHAS-TV, on Saturday, Nov. 4, at approximately 6 a.m., a Mount Washington Police officer went to Lindsey Duvall Park to unlock it to the public, but when he got there, he saw a woman on the other side of the gate.
The policeman, Officer Bramer, reportedly wrote in the complaint that Kenzie Vanarsdale went up to his patrol car to provide her information, but then she fled. Bramer reportedly ran after her, identified himself as a cop, and ordered her to stop. WHAS reports Vanarsdale stopped running and put her hands in the air. Bramer started to handcuff her, but then she allegedly turned around and stabbed him above the left eye with a screwdriver.
WAVE-TV reports Bramer wrote in the citation Vanarsdale allegedly tried to inflict “serious physical injury or possibly even death.”
Bramer was reportedly treated at the hospital for his injury and has since been released.
Bullitt County Jail records show Vanardsdale was booked on a charge of attempted murder of a police officer. According to WAVE, her bond was set at $500,000.
