Combative Fla. Patient Coughs on EMT, Claims She Has Coronavirus

New York Daily News

She knows karate—and corona.

A Florida woman was arrested for breaking her boyfriend’s nose because he wouldn’t have sex with her, then deliberately coughing on first responders, warning them she was infected with coronavirus.

LaDonald Shakkie Holmes became "very agitated at which time she ‘round house kicked’ the victim in the nose and then punched him in the nose,” according to a police report posted to the Smoking Gun.

Cops claim the 38-year-old woman was upset that her boyfriend refused to have sex with her because she had decided to get back together with her ex-husband. Holmes allegedly reduced the unidentified victim to a bloody mess. The ugly incident happened in the Orlando suburb of Lady Lake last week.

“It should be noted the arrestee is a blackbelt in martial arts,” officers added.

When a police officer arrived to arrest Holmes, she was lying in bed refusing to answer questions. She went limp as a cop tried dragging her to a police cruiser, prompting the officer to call an ambulance out of fear Holmes was having a medical episode. That’s when police say she became aggressive with law enforcement officers and EMTs on the scene and had to be sedated. That didn’t appear to slow her down right away.

“While place the arrestee on a stretcher the arrestee shouted 'I have the coronavirus’ and coughed directly on Medic Gatnye’s face, which resulted in copious amounts of saliva landing on the paramedic's face.”

Holmes was charged with two counts of felony battery and released on $7,000 bond, according to the report. She will be arraigned April 13. She reportedly has previous battery convictions.
