Eating a police car is a felony in Idaho

No link yet...

One Staci Anne Spence, 42, of Sandpoint, Idaho, allegedly "doused" two people with pepper spray while they were sleeping in a van parked alongside a road northeast of Sandpoint. The Bonner County Sheriff's Department is all too familiar with Ms. Spence; they pulled out her mugshot, got positive ID and went out to her place to pick her up.

Skipping past all the abuse she threw at the cops...they wound up having to cast her into irons and transported her to jail lying face-down on the back seat of the county's Tahoe. While en route, she gnawed through the upholstery and started eating the foam underneath. It cost the county $2000 to replace the seat...she was charged with malicious injury to property at the felony level (the dividing line between misdemeanor and felony is $1000 in Idaho), battery, battery on a law officer, driving under the influence and resisting arrest.

I'm wondering why they had to REPLACE the seat with a new one, or if they actually did: there are upholstery companies and junkyards in this area that will fix you right up. As to the charges...well yeah, if you eat a cop car they're going to look for the most expensive way to fix it when they're writing you up.

The same woman decided to go to the Panida Theater in Sandpoint, which is this neat old movie house in the historic downtown that the townspeople restored and fitted with a digital projector. While there she decided to get drunk and beat someone's ass. Apparently the cops in Sandpoint need training in "searching and handcuffing suspects" because while in transit to the jail, she pulled out a beer, opened it and drank it WHILE IN THE BACK OF THE POLICE CAR!
