VIDEO: 'Psycho' Bites Joliet Policeman He Tells Fellow Officers, Arrested Woman Screams, Sings Spanish Songs

JOLIET, IL — In what turned out to be one of the more difficult arrests for the Joliet Police Department in recent weeks, Joliet Patch has obtained body camera footage showing the events surrounding the Aug. 18 Super 8 motel parking lot arrest of 26-year-old Ingrid Acosta Villarraga, who hails from Cincinnati, Ohio.

That evening, the Ohio woman was kicked out of the Super 8 Motel property near Larkin Avenue and McDonough Street and when Joliet police officers responded to the scene, they found several plastic bags of her possessions, along with a giant teddy bear, placed at the street curb.

And that's about when things got out of control.

By the end of the ordeal, it took several officers — perhaps at least a dozen —to swarm the scene and help with the arrest or be ready on standby to ensure the safety of the officers trying to lift the woman off the parking lot pavement and move her to the back of a squad car.

"Psycho!" one of the Joliet police officers exclaimed as they were wrapping up her arrest. "I think did bite me."

The officer who said he was later bitten by the woman was one of the first responders to the Super 8. The police service call came from the motel regarding a woman who had been banned from being on the motel property and she was still there, refusing to leave.

"You need to stay off the property or else you are going get arrested," the officer informs her at 7:39 p.m. on Aug. 18.

"You speak Spanish?" he inquires.

"Only Spanish, I'm sorry," she tells him.

The woman had her phone set up to translate the English language into Spanish, although at times during her interaction, the officer tried speaking to her in Spanish.

"You need to go over there! I keep telling you," the officer instructed her, pointing to her several plastic bags of possessions that were put on the street curb.

Momens later, Acosta Villarraga began crying uncontrollably, and then she ignored the officer and began briskly walking back toward the Super 8 entrance. Then, she started screaming at the top of her lungs.

"OK, we're done. She's trying to bite me," he alerted fellow officers over his dispatch radio. "Do not f****** bit me! Do not bite me!"

The Joliet police took the woman to the pavement and she began struggling with them, making matters worse. Joliet Police Sgt. Brian Montello arrived on the scene to supervise and help direct the situation.

"She had two phones," one of the officers revealed. Put her in the back (seat). Roll her toward you."
