Woman kicks cop who tried to stop fight

A woman battling with her boyfriend overnight kicked cops who arrived to break up the fight, Colorado Springs Police said.

Police were called to the Castlewood Apartments in the 4200 block of Galley Road just before 10 p.m. after neighbors reported the couple yelling. Officers arrived to find 38-year-old Angela Atterberry squared off with a 29-year-old man, police said.

"While Officers were attempting to defuse the verbal disturbance, the 38-year-old female became verbally abusive and uncooperative with officers," police said in a report.

Atterberry apparently didn't want the fight to end and kept going after the 29 year-old as police tried to hold the 5-foot-10, 160-pound woman back.

In the melee, Atterberry tried to kick several cops and connected once. The officer wasn't hurt, but the blow was enough to get Atterberry arrested on investigation of second-degree assault.

She was being held at the El Paso County lockup this morning in lieu of a $10,000 bond, jail records show.
