Grant then got up and said, “Fuck you, I’m leaving” and stumbled to a cab. Officers informed her to stop, but Grant continued to cuss at officers. While officers were handcuffing her, Grant tensed up and kicked one officer in the leg. Officers were finally able to subdue Grant, and she was transported to the Polk County Jail.
