Police: Intoxicated woman tried to break into jail

Associated Press

HAMILTON, Ohio – A 36-year-old woman in southwest Ohio has been arrested on charges she tried to sneak into a county jail and told authorities to arrest her.

Deputies with the Butler County Sheriff’s Office arrested the woman on misdemeanor charges of criminal tresspassing and disorderly conduct. She is now at the county jail and is to be arraigned Monday.

The woman was caught trying to climb over a barbed-wire fence at the rear of the Butler County Jail in Hamilton, near Cincinnati.

WEWS-TV (http://bit.ly/PbTjSE) reported the Sunday morning arrest came after jail staff told her to leave the property, but she told them to arrest her.

Deputies then repeatedly asked the woman to leave, but she refused and attempted to climb the fence again. Deputies said she was intoxicated.
