OLD BRIDGE, N.J. — A woman was caught on video refusing to exit her car and punching a cop during an arrest attempt.
Officer Ronia Walrond pulled over Francesca Minickene, 21, for speeding Tuesday, MyCentralJersey.com reported. After running her information, Walrond discovered Minickene was driving on a suspended and expired license.
When she asked her to step out of the vehicle, Minickene refused and began fighting Walrond.
Robert Rokicki, who filmed the video, wrote on Facebook that he initially thought it was a man fighting a female cop so he went over to offer help. Walrond said she didn’t want help, so he began filming.
Minickene screamed repeatedly at Walrond, saying that she hit her and she wasn’t going to exit her car.
Minickene was taken into custody when backup arrived. She is charged with assaulting a police officer, terroristic threats, obstruction, resisting and three motor vehicle violations. Walrond suffered a few bruises and has returned to work.
