Laura Plum, 24, of Bellefontaine, was charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest as a result of an incident Monday, Jan. 15.
Officers of the Washington Township Police Department were dispatched about 7:55 p.m. to 8890 Township Road 239, Lot 30, in reference to a female under the influence and having a manic episode.
Upon arrival, officers heard yelling coming from inside of the residence. Upon making contact with Plum, officers said she continued to yell profanities at the other residents inside of the home.
