Woman Strikes, Spits On Hinsdale Nurses: Police

HINSDALE, IL – A Westmont woman spit on one nurse, pushed another and threatened to get one of them fired earlier this month at the Hinsdale hospital, police said.

Police were called to the hospital's emergency room late the night of Jan. 10. Arrested was 24-year-old Amanda Perez, police said.

Patch obtained the police report through a public records request.

According to the report, a nurse told officers that when she escorted Perez back to her bed, Perez spit on her. Perez was quoted as yelling, "I'm going to get you fired, b----!"

Another nurse said she tried to get a yelling Perez to change into a gown. Perez then pushed the nurse, police said.

Perez, who said she went to Hinsdale Central High and Lewis University, said she spit on staff because they tried to suffocate her with a blanket, according to the report.

When officers asked more questions, she said the incident was none of their business and criticized an officer's eyes, police said.

Perez said she would have no further problems with the medical staff now that the police were called, according to the report.

Perez faces two felony counts of aggravated battery of a nurse, police said.
