An 18-year-old Johnstown woman is facing charges of simple assault, public drunkenness and other crimes for an incident early Sunday morning in the 800 block of Wayne Avenue in Indiana Borough.
Borough police say once they arrived, they identified 18-year-old Jahaira Borrero of Johnstown as the main suspect and took her into custody initially on underage drinking charges. As she was taken into custody and then to the hospital for treatment, she was in a highly intoxicated state and would not calm down. She eventually tried to bite one of the medics tending to her and shouted several insults and threats at doctors and staff at Indiana Regional Medical Center. Once released from the hospital, she was placed in Indiana County Jail on a temporary detainer.
On top of the aforementioned charges, she is accused of disorderly conduct, and underage drinking.
