Councilwoman punches cop in the back of his head as officers investigate stabbing in her home, police say
A councilwoman from the Pittsburgh suburb of Bellevue faces charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest after police said she punched a police officer in the back of the head during a stabbing investigation in her home over the weekend.
What are the details?
Officers were called around 3:47 a.m. Saturday to Sumner Avenue in Bellevue over reports of a man who had stabbed himself, WXPI-TV reported.
Arriving police told the station they found John Miller standing in the home's doorway with a towel wrapped around his right leg; police said he was bleeding on the floor.
One officer who entered the home's kitchen to further investigate found two knives and puddles of blood on the floor, WXPI said. That officer met Bellevue Borough councilwoman Sabreena Miller near the bathroom, the station said.
That officer said she came at him, told him to get out of her house, and asked why he was there, WXPI said, citing police documents.
The officer told her that he was called there and said her husband was bleeding from a stab wound at the front door, the station reported. The officer also said he smelled alcohol on Sabreena Millerâ€s breath as she began to push him and scream at him that he had no right to be there, WXPI added.
What happened next?
Sabreena Miller allegedly punched the officer in the back of the head, WTAE-TV reported, adding that a criminal complaint indicates she and police struggled before she was handcuffed and arrested. Court documents said both officers were required to secure and arrest her, WXPI reported.
Sabreena Miller is being held at Allegheny County Jail and faces charges of aggravated assault and resisting arrest, WXPI reported, adding that John Miller faces simple assault charges due to the scratches on his wifeâ€s neck.
Bellevue Borough Council's solicitor told WTAE the council canâ€t comment on criminal investigations.
