Police in St. Thomas, Ont., say a 21-year-old woman is facing charges after an early morning incident at a home on Miller Street.

According to police, officers were called to reports of an “unwanted party at the home” around 2 a.m. At the scene, police say they found an intoxicated woman who allegedly refused to leave.

When officers went to arrest her, police say she became combative and was “kicking, screaming and spitting” on police. Police have not disclosed whether officers were wearing personal protective equipment at the time due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
