SALISBURY — Police responded to phone calls in reference to a woman lying in the middle of street trying to take off her clothes. The woman gave a few different names when officers made inquiries, but officials say initially they didn’t know the woman’s identity.
Officers went to North Clay and East Cemetery streets around 8:30 p.m. Tuesday after a concerned citizen asked that law enforcement check on her. The woman appeared to be intoxicated a report said.
The officer said she was saying random words. She gave them three different names, said Police Capt. Melonie Thompson.
She said the woman told the officer she lived on Cemetery Street so he walked to that area with her and spoke to a man who was at the address. He told the officer he didn’t know her and she did not live there. But he believed she went by the nickname, Mocha.
The woman tried to kick out the back window of the officer’s car and she spit on the officer. She was not cooperative and listed in the jail system as Jane Doe, Thompson said. The woman was charged with misdemeanor injury to personal property and felony malicious conduct by prisoner.
Police have since identified the woman as Sylvia Quantina Dunn, 31, whose address is listed as the streets of Salisbury. She was issued a $4,000 secured bond and remains in the Rowan County Detention Center.
Thompson said it’s not clear what substance Dunn consumed, but she was impaired.
