The Hatboro Police Department announced today the arrest of Emily Abbruzzi, 23, for attempting to kick a police officer multiple times while she was being taken into custody for public drunkenness and disorderly conduct.
According to the report, Hatboro police were dispatched to Hatters Court in the Woodwinds Condo Complex for the report of a domestic disturbance in progress on Sunday, October 4. While officers were responding, they received information that there were approximately seven individuals engaged in a fist fight in the parking lot.
