NEWPORT — The Newport Police Department has arrested and charged a local woman with assault on law enforcement.
HAILEY TULLIS, AGE 21, of NEWPORT, was arrested and charged with Assault on Law Enforcement.
At about 9:12 p.m. on Thursday, April 30, Newport Police responded to a residence on Sias Avenue for report of an individual harming themselves.
Police and Newport EMS crews arrived on scene and determined that the individual, identified as TULLIS, had run from the house. Responders observed a significant amount of blood inside the home, causing a concern for her safety. Newport Police were unable to locate her.
Later that evening, dispatch was notified by the original caller that TULLIS had returned to the residence and had a knife.
When officers arrived to the house, TULLIS attempted to run again by jumping out of a window. Newport Police were able to contain her, but she was uncooperative as police checked for weapons and assessed her injuries, prompting officers to place her in handcuffs. During this time, TULLIS spit in the face of a Newport Police officer.
Newport Police transported her to North County Hospital for evaluation of her injuries, where she was cleared and transported to the Police Department.
She was arraigned in Orleans District Court on Friday, May 1, where she was ordered to be held on $2,000 bail.
These are allegations. All suspects are innocent until proven guilty.
