A Butler woman is facing multiple charges after an incident that included the assault of police officers last weekend.
According to a criminal complaint, Butler City police found 19-year-old Asia Basham just after midnight Sunday morning behind the wheel at the scene of an accident in the 100 block of Morton Avenue.
Police say that Basham refused to identify herself and kicked an officer as she was being taken to the station. She then allegedly refused a breath test and slipped out of her handcuffs before throwing the handcuffs and continuing to punch and kick officers.
Basham has been charged with felony aggravated assault causing injury to police and resisting arrest as well as DUI and underage drinking.
