Fighting, spitting suspect: Police were sent at 8:23 p.m. to a business in the 1300 block of Moraga Way for a report of a woman fighting with employees. When the officers arrived, the woman took a fighting stance with rolled fists, then threw a purse at an officer. She was handcuffed and put into the back of a police car despite trying to resist officers. She then tried to spit on officers, so a "spit shield" was placed over her head and she was driven to County Jail in Martinez, charged with obstructing a peace officer and assaulting a peace officer.
