An Odessa woman has been arrested after police say she assaulted a police officer and defecated on another.

Kristie Marie Rodriguez, 33, has been charged with Assault on a Public Servant, a 3rd Degree Felony, and Criminal Trespassing, a Class B Misdemeanor.

According to the Odessa Police Department, their officers were called to Payne's Gym on Tuesday where Rodriguez was refusing to leave.

The owners believe Rodriguez had been living at the gym, which is open 24 hours a day..

"I got a message on Facebook at 4 a.m. saying there was a lady sleeping on the bathroom counter," Laura Payne said. "And then one of our friends said they saw a lady sleeping on the equipment, but we weren’t sure at that time if she was hanging out or staying through the night. So yesterday was confirmation."

Rodriguez actually paid for a membership at the gym about a week earlier, but Payne said Rodriguez displayed erratic behavior.

"I caught her trying to walk out of the gym with some of our equipment," Payne said. "I told her not to, and she said it was broken. I said ' it's still not yours, you can’t take it'. She finally put it down and ran back to the bathroom.

That women's locker room is where Rodriguez had her confrontation with the officers. The police said they gave Rodriguez several commands to get dressed and leave, but that she refused.

According to OPD, Rodriguez was on the floor and kicked one officer in the groin and defecated on another officer, getting feces on their pants and shoes.

Rodriguez was then charged and arrested accordingly.

"I’m embarrassed that it happened at our gym not going to lie," Payne said. "At first we were mad, but the more we’ve kind of learned about her we felt bad. We feel bad for her and her situation, and I just hope she gets the help that she needed."

Rodriguez is not allowed to remain a member at the gym.

"No she’s not welcomed back," Payne said. "I have to worry about the safety of my members and the gym. And we have kids in daycare and a lot of members we have to take care of, and that’s our priority is to make sure everybody is safe."
