MONROE - A 19-year-old Monroe woman faces multiple charges in Green County Circuit Court after she allegedly struggled with officers and spit blood at a jail deputy early Friday, July 26.

Kaylee B. Mueller was initially cited for underage drinking after police responded at 12:43 a.m. Friday to a neighbor's complaint of noise in a backyard in the 2600 block of 12th Avenue.

Ethan D. Studer, 17, and Jacob L. Gassman, 19, both of Monroe, and three juveniles at the scene were also cited for underage drinking.

Mueller then allegedly began arguing with officers and didn't follow their orders that she stay where she was.

Court records indicate she physically struggled with officers. After they put her in a squad car, she "continued to scream and also thrash about the squad, slamming her head and face against the window" until she started bleeding.

Once at the jail, she allegedly continued to yell and swear, pounded on the door to the detention cell, refused to put on her jail uniform, kicked and lunged at a deputy in an attempt to bite her and expelled saliva and blood into the eye of another deputy.

She faces a Class I felony charge of throwing or expelling bodily substances as a prisoner, as well as misdemeanor counts of disorderly conduct and resisting officers.

In court Monday, July 29, her signature bond was set at $2,000 with the conditions that she not drink or have contact with the residence on 12th Avenue where she was arrested.

An order was filed for her to submit to a test for communicable diseases, in accordance with Wisconsin statutes.

Her preliminary hearing is Aug. 12.
