Woman Flips Out When Arlington Cops Try To Arrest Her: Police

ARLINGTON, VA -- Arlington County police were called to assist state troopers Monday night with arresting a woman who flipped out after being pulled over on I-66, police say.

Police were called to I-66 westbound at N. Sycamore Street to assist Virginia State Police with transporting a suspect to booking at around 3:20 a.m. Feb. 4, according to a report from the Arlington County Police Department.

"The suspect actively resisted while being searched and placed into a cruiser and kicked the windows of the vehicle numerous times causing officers to change transport vehicles," the report states. "As she was escorted into booking, the suspect shouted profanities at officers and appeared to be about to spit on an officer. The officer attempted to prevent being spit upon by turning the suspect’s face away, however, the suspect bit the officer’s fingers, resulting in minor injury that required medical treatment."

The suspect continued to fight with officers and refused to walk, but officers eventually got her to booking, police say.

Police charged 27-year-old Imani Banks of D.C. with assault and battery on place, and she was also served with warrants for driving while intoxicated, refusal, and speeding by VSP from the initial traffic stop.
