A woman angry about long lines at the Motor Vehicle Commission office in Bayonne smashed computer equipment, assaulted a manager and security guard and kicked police officers, authorities said.

Shawna Joseph, 28, of Jersey City, was charged with criminal mischief, drug possession, simple assault, aggravated assault, resisting arrest and hindering apprehension Tuesday afternoon, Bayonne Lt. Eric Amato said.

The manager of the MVC office told officers that Joseph was kicked out of the office at 2 p.m. after she became irate over the length of the line of customers. Joseph returned at 3:50 p.m. and caused another disturbance, Amato said.

When she was confronted, Joseph pushed the manager and began breaking computer equipment. MVC officials later told police that Joseph caused $23,000 in damage.

The manager and security guard struggled to remove Joseph from the office and she repeatedly punched both of them, Amato said.

Officers arrived and they were repeatedly kicked by Joseph while assisting the security guard restrain her, Amato said.

While officers assisted the security guard with restraining Joseph, she repeatedly resisted by kicking officers while they attempted to place her into handcuffs. Joseph was ultimately subdued and taken into custody.

Police searching Joseph after her arrest found she was in possession of a PCP-laced marijuana cigarette, said Amato, who noted that Joseph also provided officers with a false name.

The MVC office manager was treated at an area hospital.
