A woman, who claimed she’s HIV positive, was placed behind bars for spitting on a first responder.
Police were called to a possible suicide at a motel on Dickerson Pike on Friday.
When they arrived, a man told them his girlfriend was doing heroin and said she would be dead by the time he got back.
Authorities got into the room and found Janaee Kiesha Palmer with cuts to her wrists. They also found a needle, a bent spoon with residue, and a scale.
She was taken to the hospital, but when first responders tried to move her from the gurney to a hospital bed, she allegedly spit on them and claimed she's HIV positive and has Hepatitis C.
Palmer was charged with aggravated assault of a first responder. She was also charged with unlawful use of drug paraphernalia.
