Last week, a Linton woman allegedly drove over parking curbs in a restaurant parking lot then narrowly missed hitting an officer’s vehicle. This week she’s facing an additional charge for her alleged behavior at the jail. She’s accused of hitting a jail officer.

Crystal Dawn Wilson, 28, Linton, was arrested by Officer Joe Riley of the Linton Police Department following an incident late Tuesday night, May 12. Wilson was booked into the Greene County Jail around 12:30 a.m. on Wednesday, May 13.

Last week’s story is included below this story.

Det. Sgt. Shawn Cullison of the Greene County Sheriff’s Department reported that during booking, GCSD Jail Officer Rachel Flater took Wilson into a shower room area so Wilson could change from her personal clothing into a jail uniform.

But Wilson got into the shower while still wearing all of her personal clothing and refused to get out.

Wilson then allegedly turned the water on in the shower. Jail Officer Flater ordered Wilson to exit the shower several times but Wilson did not comply. When the jail officer attempted to remove Wilson from the shower, Wilson allegedly grabbed one of the officer’s arms and Wilson hit the officer in the arm, leaving red marks on the officer’s arm.

Officer Flater did remove Wilson from the shower. After Wilson put on the jail uniform, she was placed in a holding cell.

A second criminal case was filed against Wilson today, on a preliminary charge of battery resulting in moderate bodily injury, a Level 6 felony.

Wilson has now bonded out of jail by posting $800 which is ten percent of $8,000, the total amount of bond for both cases.

Wilson is scheduled to appear in court for two initial hearings on June 1.

Story posted last Wednesday, May 13:

Police say a Linton woman drove over parking curbs in a restaurant parking lot then almost hit a patrol vehicle late last night.

Crystal Dawn Wilson, 28, Linton, was arrested by Officer Joe Riley of the Linton Police Department following an incident late last night, Tuesday, May 12. Wilson was booked into the Greene County Jail around 12:30 a.m. this morning, Wednesday, May 13.

Officer Riley and LPD Officer John Agan were dispatched to the area of the Taco Bell restaurant after a caller reported a blue Ford F-150 pickup truck traveling on A Street was not staying in its lane before turning into the Taco Bell lot. The caller, who turned in after the pickup truck, said she saw the driver get out of the truck and stumble toward the door. The driver then got back in the truck and went to the drive-through.

Wilson was later identified as the driver of a blue truck.

Shortly before the two officers arrived in the area, LPD dispatch got a call from an employee at Taco Bell who said a woman in a blue pickup had been in their drive and was saying she ordered food but she had not ordered anything.

Officer Riley, the investigating officer in this case, said as he entered the Taco Bell lot, the pickup truck drove north out of the drive-through lane, drove over three parking curbs and almost drove into oncoming traffic on A Street. The pickup truck then turned back west toward the lot entrance, almost hitting Officer Agan’s patrol vehicle as he was arriving. Officer Riley said the pickup truck came to a stop facing south in the parking lot, between the patrol vehicles of the two officers.

Officer Riley said Wilson got out of the truck looking confused and disheveled, holding a five-dollar bill. He reported detecting a strong odor of alcohol and she exhibited several signs of impairment.

Wilson could not keep her balance to complete standard field sobriety testing and was transported to the Linton Police Department.

At the police department, she failed standard field sobriety testing and chemical test results showed she had a BAC of .089. The legal limit is .08. She was transported and booked into jail.

Her bond was initially set at $8,000 surety with ten percent cash allowed. As of Wednesday evening, May 13, she had not yet posted bond and remained in jail.

Preliminary charges filed against her include: Operating a vehicle with an alcohol concentration equivalent to at least .08 but less than .15, a Class C misdemeanor, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated endangering a person, a Class A misdemeanor. A date for an initial hearing has not been set.
