Kim Scott Arrested After Biting Officer During Suicide Attempt Response

3 articles · Updated · On Air with Ryan Seacrest · Jul 16

Summary

  • Michigan police took Kim Scott into custody last weekend after she allegedly bit one officer hard enough to draw blood and kicked another while they responded to a reported suicide attempt at her home.
  • Officers found Eminem's ex-wife in her basement wearing only a bra and underwear; after she screamed at them to leave, police said she became combative, resisted handcuffing and was subdued with a taser.
  • Paramedics treated the bitten officer at the scene and took Scott by gurney to McLaren Macomb Hospital, where she was treated before being arrested on assaulting a police officer and resisting arrest charges.
  • The arrest adds to a recent string of legal troubles: Scott was arrested in May on suspicion of drunk driving after a crash, after already pleading no contest to two misdemeanors tied to a February crash.
