A 40-year-old Florida woman had a rough evening Friday after drinking a bit too much and causing a scene at an intersection.
On Friday, April 19, just after 7 p.m., deputies responded to a duplex on Farraday Lane in Palm Coast after the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office Communications Center received a 911 call regarding a highly intoxicated female.
Prior to arriving at the residence, Deputy Parker located the woman, Julia Jones, 40, a Palm Coast resident, at the intersection of Farraday Lane and Fawn Lane.

While speaking with her, deputies noticed she could not keep her balance and smelled strongly of alcohol. They asked her to stand next to the patrol car to keep from swaying into oncoming traffic, and at that point, she became extremely agitated and began screaming.
While deputies attempted to detain her to prevent further disturbance, she began spitting on the deputies and struggling to break free.
After several minutes, deputies and medical personnel were able to gain control of Jones and place her in the back of the patrol car.
During a search of her backpack, deputies located a small bag that contained three white pills that were identified as containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone.

Jones was arrested on charges of Disorderly Intoxication – Public Place, Cause Disturbance; Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer; and Possession of Hydrocodone.
While en route to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, Jones began banging her head repeatedly inside the vehicle and actively screaming. Deputies transported her to AdventHealth for medical clearance before she was taken to jail. Jones posted a bond of $7,500 and was released.
“This woman disrupted a peaceful neighborhood and then continued to berate and attack and spit on deputies,” said Sheriff Staly. “If you spit and attack a Deputy Sheriff, we guarantee you a trip to the Green Roof Inn.”
