The easy way is never chosen.

I got up about three pm and started to get ready to work at the jail. It was not all that peaceful. I kept getting a call from a lady complaining that her town marshal was a bad cop. She said she wanted to report a theft. Finally Whitcom was getting tired of the calls sent the town marshal over to her house to have her stop calling. I got another call from her. She said to stop sending the town marshal to her house. I said if she stopped calling he would stop getting sent over to her house. I could hear some knocking in the background. The town marshal was there and she would not answer the door. I asked to speak to the town marshal. She said she did not want him in the house. I asked if she could hand him a cordless phone. She did. Then said started yelling at him to give the phone back. Then she started yelling "HELP!!! RAPE!!!" I got off the phone shortly after that.

At about seven pm they went back to her house to arrest her for false reporting a few other things. I could hear the town marshal on the way in on the radio. The lady was screaming in the background. She got to the jail. I tried to get her cuffs off but she was fighting with us. So I tried to calm her down. She would have none of it. Finally I told her we can do things the easy way or the hard way. She chose the hard way. We put her into a restraint chair for about an hour while we got a PC sheet. While putting her in the restraint chair she was still fighting us. Mark called for Keith to come and help out since he had used the restraint chair before. He was at Subway with a few other cops. So they all came, because they thought that they needed everyone. We had two troopers, four deputies and a town marshal.

Finally everyone left but two deputies. We took her out of the chair and put her in a holding cell. The rest of the evening was uneventful. I had to do paperwork because of everything and I did not get out of the jail until almost one thirty am.
