Libertyville IL March 15, 2023
A woman first arrested for DUI now faces charges of assaulting both law enforcement and hospital security.
Isabella Sierra, 21, of the 6000 block of Eagle Ridge Drive in Gurnee, was charged Feb. 26 with aggravated battery, driving under the influence of alcohol, speeding, obstruction, and resisting a police officer.
When officers conducted a traffic stop after observing her driving at a high rate of speed, they tried to place Sierra under arrest for impairment.
Sierra resisted and kicked the officers’ legs.
She was transported to the Libertyville police department where Sierra continued to kick other officers, at which point, she was taken to the hospital to be evaluated for alcohol intoxication. There she spat in a security officer’s face.
She was later transported back to jail to face further charges.
