Unusual Officer Assault



     MITCHELL, S.D. (AP) - A Mitchell woman is accused of striking a
police officer in the face with a used feminine hygiene product.
     Forty-one-year-old Ada Morales pleaded not guilty in May to two
charges of aggravated assault against a law enforcement officer and
other counts including resisting arrest and intentionally causing
contact with bodily fluids. She is scheduled for trial in October.
     Morales is accused of throwing a soiled feminine hygiene
product in the face of a police officer who responded to a mental
illness call. She also allegedly sprayed the officer with cleaning
items and attacked another officer, knocking off his glasses and
scratching him.
