A woman was arrested by LBPD officers inside the cafeteria at Long Beach City College’s PCC campus on Thursday.
According to LBPD Lt. Omar Martinez, the public safety officer arrived on scene at 11:36 a.m. when a woman was yelling profanity inside the cafeteria.
Martinez said security tried to speak to the woman until she became agitated and confrontational, shoving the officer, resulting in the officer’s physical control and detainment on her.
The woman in question was arrested for felony warrant and assault of an officer, who has minor injuries from the assault.
Student witnesses were able to recount the incident details.
“When I came in I was ordering some food when the woman was trying to get money from the ATM and then started cussing at the machine,” student witness Yesenia Delgado said.
David Hodges witnessed the entire incident, as he saw the cafeteria cashier become frightened as from the woman’s behavior.
“She threw a whole cup of ice on the floor, started walking and cursing until the officer came,” Hodges said.
According to Lt. Martinez, the woman who was arrested is not an LBCC student.
There is an ongoing investigation following the case.
