7:58 a.m.: A 61-year-old New Hampshire woman faces an additional charge of assault and battery on a police officer during her transport to court from the Rockport Police Department, according to a police report. The woman was arrested Saturday around 1:12 a.m. on charges of driving under the influence of drugs, disorderly conduct and negligent operation of a motor vehicle after police came upon her vehicle parked in the center of the Fisherman’s Memorial, between the Man at the Wheel statue and the cenotaph tablets on Stacy Boulevard, according to the police report. On Monday, two Gloucester officers arrived at the Rockport station to take the woman to Gloucester District Court in Peabody. The officer on prisoner watch informed them the woman was on her knees splashing toilet water on the cell floor. The officer told the woman to sit on the bench so he could open the cell and allow her to put on her shoes. The report says the woman aggressively approached the cell door and said: “You guys are all demons” and hurled an expletive at the officers. Police repeatedly asked the woman to back away from the door, and she appeared as if she were preparing for a fight, the report said. As the officers went in to handcuff her, the report said the woman lunged through the cell door and attempted to grab an officer’s vest, hitting him in the chest. The officer blocked her and told her to get back into the cell. The report describes a struggle as officers attempted to handcuff her hands behind her back. After being handcuffed, the report said the woman became “legless” and refused to stand or walk to the cruiser. The woman had to be picked up and walked to the cruiser. Once inside the cruiser, police were concerned she would attempt to kick them if they tried to put a seatbelt on her. She was taken to court without further incident.
