Officers managed to escape this scene without injury but the same isn’t true for their cruisers

- An Ohio woman rammed a police cruiser while trying to avoid arrest in Alliance.
- A third party called the police on the woman for blocking them into a parking space.
- Facing multiple charges, she remains jailed on a $100,000 bond after the incident.
The tiny town of Alliance, Ohio is home to fewer than 30,000 people and it isn’t too often that anything there makes national news. That’s different this week though as a woman suspected of domestic violence took things from bad to worse. After officers approached her she decided to ram their vehicles and it’s all on bodycam.
Authorities haven’t released the name of the suspect but video shows police asking her to exit her vehicle during a traffic stop. It appears as though she ignores them completely as she films the encounter from inside of her Mazda SUV. At one stage early on she says “He needs to stay away from me,” but it’s unclear who she’s speaking of.

According to the CantonRep, a man had called the police as he had already filed a complaint against the woman and suspected her of domestic violence. Notably, the suspect could’ve been speaking about the male police officer confronting her at her window too. Nevertheless, she completely fails to comply or give any sort of clear reasoning as to her motives.
Instead, roughly two minutes later, she puts the car in drive, moves forward, reverses, and then goes forward momentarily before authorities box her in. That doesn’t stop her from putting it back into reverse though and hitting one of the Ford SUVs in the process. The video cuts off there and there doesn’t appear to be any additional dashcam footage.
The woman is now facing several charges including felonious assault, felony obstruction, unlawful restraint, resisting arrest, and operating a vehicle impaired. She’s in jail on a $100,000 bond and is hopefully getting whatever help she might need. It’s suspected that she was under the influence of an unknown substance at the time of the alleged crime.
