The deputy stopped the Suburban and saw two children and two large dogs in the rear seats. The female driver smelled of alcohol and admitted she had been drinking, the deputy said. The children, ages 7 and 9, told another deputy that their mother had picked them up at their father's house in Cody, Wyo. While the deputy spoke with the children, the woman dropped her pants and urinated next to the Suburban, court records state.
The woman told a deputy that she believed she was in Bozeman, and a short time later threatened a deputy with a tennis racket while screaming to have the emergency patrol lights turned off. During a struggle, the woman kicked a deputy in the groin before she was subdued. Placed in the back seat of a patrol car, the woman shattered a window of the car by kicking at the glass, court records said.
