A 32-year-old New Jersey woman told Franklin Borough police officers they’re going to “catch these fists” after she was found drunk and on the ground in the rain outside of a bar on Monday night, authorities said.

Then she made good on the threat, police said.

Kasey Mulligan, of Franklin Borough, struck an officer in the chest, lower stomach and groin after being arrested outside Koz’s Corner on Rutherford Avenue around 11:15 p.m., police said in a statement.

When police arrived, Mulligan began flailing her limbs and yelling belligerently, officials said. She then became confrontational with officers and bar patrons as police tried to arrest her for disorderly conduct. She made the flippant comment and attacked the officer while in custody, according to police.

Earlier, Mulligan tried to assault people in the bar, according to witnesses.

Mulligan was charged with assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. She also received a summons for maintaining a nuisance on commercial property.

The officer was not injured.
