Summary
Police records say Kim Scott, 51, fought officers responding to a July 11 911 call about a bleeding woman at her Chesterfield Township, Michigan, home, and was eventually strapped to a stretcher for hospital transport.
Officers said Scott was found in a basement closet, screamed at them to leave, pushed one officer, bit another on the forearm and kicked a third before police used a taser to subdue her.
The report says officers initially did not know whether Scott had a weapon, one drew a handgun at low-ready and another a taser, and Scott was unstable on her feet when she emerged.
Authorities later noticed both of Scott's forearms were wounded and bleeding; she has not publicly addressed the incident, which followed reports that dispatchers treated the call as a suicide attempt.
