On Jan 11, St. Mary’s deputies responded to a residence in Lexington Park for a check the welfare call. 

Upon arrival deputies hear loud noises and yelling coming from inside of the house.  Concerned for the safety of those inside the residence, deputies entered the residence through an unlocked door.  Once inside of the residence Brenda Lee Tippett, 35 of Lexington Park, approached the deputies in an aggressive manner and attempted to grab Corporal J. Logalbo.  Corporal Logalbo grabbed Tippett’s arm and a struggle ensued.  Corporal Logalbo told Tippett she was under arrest and order Tippett to stop resisting.  Tippett continued to resist by trying to swing her arms and trying to kick Corporal Logalbo. 

Tippet was subdued and charged with second-degree assault and resisting arrest.
