Officers were sent to the area of Pleasant Street and the Rudman courthouse for a report of a disturbance between two women about a child.

Other officers arrived and they attempted to stop her but she allegedly pushed an officer and kept screaming about how there were “cameras all around her” and about “where the cameras were.” The officer alleged she was “extremely intoxicated” and slurring her words. After another officer went to speak with the victim, Racine allegedly got up again and started to walk away.
