According to KETK, Sheriff Jason Bridges stated that the Nacogdoches Police Dept. arrested Dominique Macon on a misdemeanor warrant charge and she was transported to the jail. A female jailer searched Macon and found a bottle that officers believed contained the drug PCP hidden inside of Macons pants. Macon started fighting with the jailer and was able to throw the liquid substance inside the bottle onto the jailer, according to authorities. Officials say the liquid substance struck the jailer in the face and went into her eyes and mouth. Macon was quickly subdued without further incident, according to officials.
The jailer was taken to Nacogdoches Memorial Hospital, where she was treated and later released. Charges have been filed against Macon, 21, for assault on a public servant, tampering with physical evidence, and having a prohibited substance in a correctional facility.
