(KAIR)--An Atchison woman is facing charges, following what's alleged to have been an attack with a drink on an Atchison Police Officer last week.

That's according to a release from Atchison Police Chief Mike Wilson, which says 41-year-old Michema Laurent was arrested Thursday for battery on a law enforcement officer, interference with law enforcement, and possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

According to Wilson, Laurent's arrest came after officers, around 12:45 Thursday afternoon, were called to a report of a disturbance in the 100 block of South 8th, where they located Laurent, accused of being involved in the disturbance.

When she was confronted by officers, it's alleged she threw a cup of liquid in an officer's face, leading to an altercation where it's alleged Laurent kicked an officer in the face and chest while resisting arrest.

Once officers managed to take her into custody, Laurent was found in the alleged possession of the marijuana and paraphernalia.

Following her arrest, Laurent was booked into the Atchison County Jail.
