The 19-year-old woman at the center of an explosive Bay Area police sex misconduct scandal has been arrested on suspicion of felony aggravated battery in Florida, where she recently traveled to enter a substance abuse rehabilitation center.

The woman, who goes by the name Celeste Guap, was arrested at 1:19 p.m. Monday and booked into the Martin County Jail, where she remains in custody on $300,000 bail, according to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

The incident began Monday at Wellness Counseling and Detoxification in Stuart, Florida, where she had checked in only days earlier. Employees told a Martin County sheriff’s deputy that Guap had run out of the voluntary facility, but a staff member convinced her to return, according to the police report.

Once back in the facility, Guap became upset and three security guards entered the room. Guap balled her fists, tried to pull down a large countertop safe and, when security tried to intervene, bit a 30-year-old guard on his right forearm.

“(The guard) advised (that Guap) was extremely hostile with all the staff members since her arrival at the facility,” the deputy wrote.

Cameras in the facility captured most of the incident, and the security guard was taken to the hospital for blood work, according to the report.

“(Guap) refused to speak about the incident, continually referring to her past,” the deputy wrote. “(Guap) began speaking about how many police officers she had slept with in California and past drug use.”

Guap is a sexually exploited teen who said she has had sex with about 30 law enforcement officers from multiple departments, including four before she turned 18. She said she was paid to have sex with some of the officers.

The scandal first surfaced in Oakland last fall, when Officer Brendan O’Brien committed suicide after Guap said she threatened to expose their relationship to his boss. His suicide note implicated others in the Oakland Police Department, but the fallout has since hit several law enforcement agencies in the Bay Area, resulting in several resignations and forced leaves while investigations are underway.

Guap said she did not remember any assault, saying she “blacks out” when she gets angry, Florida deputies reported.

Guap was handcuffed, but she was able to slip free of the right wrist cuff. She was eventually restrained in the back of a police car, where she “repeatedly” hit her head against the window, according to the police report.

“(Guap) refused to stop, at which point, she was placed in a hobble,” the deputy wrote, referring to a device that ties suspects’ hands to their legs.

Court records show Guap refused to sign an application providing her a public defender. Instead of her signature, an official wrote: “(uncooperative).”

The teenager left Richmond last Friday to catch a flight to Florida. In a text message, Guap said a Richmond sergeant was taking her to San Francisco International Airport. It’s unclear who is paying for the rehab, but Richmond officials have said no city funds were used.

Guap has claimed to have had sex with five Richmond police officers after she turned 18; one of them has been placed on leave as part of the investigation.

Civil rights attorney Pamela Price, who on Thursday morning called for the state attorney general’s office to take over the investigation, questioned why Richmond police were involved in Guap’s trip to rehab.

“It’s totally inappropriate for people who may be subject to prosecution or investigation to participate in sending her out of state,” Price said.
