WOMAN ALLEGEDLY ATTACKS OFFICERS: CERES - A Ceres woman only made matters worse Halloween afternoon when she decided to take on officers who ordered her car towed.
Valerie Guerrera, 21, of Ceres, had been pulled over on Mitchell Road at Dale Court at 4:25 p.m. for a registration violation. Officers let Guerrera keep the keys to her car but told her to get along on foot as they awaited a tow truck. She initially left but returned in an angry state, said Deputy Chief Mike Borges. Guerrera, who may have been under the influence of alcohol and drugs, threatened officers.
Guerrera allegedly fought with Sgt. Pat Sullivan and officer Carlos Quiroz, scratching both as she was physically removed out of the northbound lanes of Mitchell Road. She is accused of kicking one of the officers in the chest and head butting another.
While she was being placed in jail at the Public Safety Center, Guerrera allegedly punched a deputy in the face, requiring treatment at the hospital.
Officers found her to be in possession of narcotics. Guerrera was charged with four counts of battery on a police officer, DUI, and four counts of threatening to kill an officer. She was also on probation for a narcotics violation.
