Jennifer Lois Richardson, 39, was taken into custody by officers from the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety after a 'chaotic' standoff with police.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found the two apartments on either side of the woman's home had water coming through the walls and floors.
Grants Pass Fire and Rescue officials shut off the water and power supplies to the complex and evacuated other residents, but the suspect continued to make threats against officers and refused to leave. According to investigators, Richardson refused to surrender after her front door was opened by detectives, who obtained a search warrant from a judge. She was eventually subdued by officers who had been"equipped with numerous less lethal platforms," police said.
Richardson now faces six criminal charges: first- and second-degree criminal mischief, assault on a police officer, disorderly conduct, unlawful use of a weapon and resisting arrest.The GPDPS said officers already had probable cause to arrest Richardson, relating to an incident a few days prior to the flooding when she allegedly damaged a neighbor's vehicle. Police said she owned an aggressive pitbull dog, which she used to threaten other citizens.
