A 24-year-old woman was arrested Saturday night after police said she assaulted and injured a College Station police officer.

The officer responded to loud party call on Magnolia Drive about 11 p.m. Saturday where he located a large gathering being held at a residence. The officer made contact with a resident in the back yard who said the party was being held for a ring dunk. While the officer was issuing a noise citation, the resident’s sister, Gabriela Alejandra Macias, came outside and told the officer she would take the ticket instead.

According to a probable cause statement, Macias put herself between her brother and the officer multiple times and asked the officer if he was going to shoot her. After briefly returning to the house, Macias struck her brother on the side of the face and then struck the officer on the left side of his face with her right hand, police say.

Macias struck the officer a second time while her boyfriend also attempted to prevent further violence. The officer was cut beneath his left eye.

Macias was forced to the ground and handcuffed. She is charged with assaulting a public servant, a third-degree felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
