Prosecutors say the officer tried to stop Lucia Costa for driving while intoxicated on March 22, 2023. Costa drove off leading police on a high-speed chase. When officers caught up to her, she allegedly spat and kicked officers sending one officer to the hospital with a shoulder injury.
Costa was taken to the hospital after banging her head on the bench at the police station. She tested for alcohol twice the legal limit and weed.
