Woman charged with assault, resisting security www.privateofficer.com
Norfolk police were called to Club Hollywood shortly after midnight Saturday, said Capt. Leon Chapman of the Norfolk Police Division.
Security personnel had removed a customer, Melanie M. Woodard, 25, of Norfolk from the club. Officers arrived to find Woodard attempting to get back into the building, Chapman said.
Responding officers warned Woodard several times to leave the area. She refused and attempted to re-enter the building.
Officers told Woodard that she was under arrest on suspicion of obstructing an officer. She then began kicking and moving away from the officers. While placing Woodard in a police unit, she kicked an officer on his thigh with high heels.
Woodard was also arrested on suspicion of resisting arrest, Chapman said.
After being placed in the patrol car, she began trying to kick out the side window.
Officers also found that Woodard had assaulted security personnel when they tried to remove her from the building, Chapman said.
Woodard was lodged in the Norfolk jail. As a result of the investigation Woodard was also cited for third-degree assault on an officer, third-degree assault on the security guard and first-degree criminal trespass.
Woodard was transferred to the Madison County jail Sunday morning.
