A Mars woman has been charged and placed in the Butler County Prison after assaulting police officers at the Adams Township Municipal building.
The incident happened on Thursday when officers were called to the lobby for 49-year-old Jennifer Lower who was “acting strange” and had a dog with her.
According to charging documents, Lower continued ringing a bell to get staff attention and when staff asked how they could help, the woman would not respond.
When officers approached the woman, she continued to ignore officers. Police then attempted to take her into custody and while putting handcuffs on, she kicked an officer in the groin. An officer attempted to use a taser but it was damaged by the woman during the struggle.
The woman was later identified as 49-year-old Jennifer Lower. She was charged with aggravated assault, resisting arrest, and defiant trespass with actual communication.
Lowers bail was set at $25,000 and a preliminary hearing was scheduled for July 15.
