NK Woman Allegedly Calls Officers 'White Supremacists' During Arrest 

Donnetta M. Hall, 41, of 101 King Phillip Drive in North Kingstown, was arrested Aug. 18 at 1:30 a.m. on two counts of assault, one count of disorderly conduct and one count of resisting arrest.

Police arrived at Hall’s home after the father of her children called police to report that Hall was inside his car beeping the horn and disturbing the neighborhood in the middle of the night. When police arrived, Hall was allegedly “agitated and loud” and still refused to leave the man’s car.

According to reports, Hall was especially vocal about her hate for the officers on scene, calling them “white [expletive]” and “white supremacists.” Hall allegedly stated that she hoped all officers at the scene would die. She later added that she wanted their mothers to die as well, according to reports. Police also noted that Hall appeared to be intoxicated. Inside the home, Hall allegedly threw full soda cans at an officer. After struggling against officers, she was placed under arrest for disorderly conduct.

During processing at police headquarters, she allegedly refused to answer simple questions (such as her date of birth). At one point, Hall allegedly had an outburst when police tried to stop her from grabbing a piece of paper underneath a nearby desk. She reportedly kicked an officer during the outburst. While in her cell, Hall allegedly began to climb on top of the sink and toilet fixtures and kick the water release button. According to police, she also urinated on the floor of her cell and was splashing water everywhere, using her shirt, which she removed while in the cell. Rescue personnel brought Hall to the hospital after she repeatedly hit her head against the wall and floor.
