I need to get OVER THERE NOW. >> [screaming] >> [ __ ] YOU. >> WHEN DEPUTIES STOPPED THE VEHICLE, Autumn openly said she would rather receive a criminal charge and go to jail than spend several days under the Baker Act. Officers tightened the restraints, but her hostility escalated as she continued demanding a penalty instead of mental health treatment. >> I'm everything. I'LL BE FINE. I'LL BE FINE. I NEED TO GET OVER THERE NOW. [ __ ] YOU. >> DURING THAT CONFRONTATION, Autumn spat and it struck a deputy in the face and hair. That single act transformed a protective custody transport into a criminal case. Under Florida law, intentionally spitting on an officer can be treated as battery on a law enforcement officer and Autumn had just been insisting that she wanted to go to jail. >> Is there a reason you spit on him? >> No. >> Because unfortunately because of that, it's either you're getting Baker Act or you're going to jail. >> I'd rather go to jail and get a penalty that I can pay for. I can pay for it off my phone. >> Even after the spit, Autumn continued begging officers to cancel the Baker Act and take her only to jail. Deputies explained that the original mental health concerns had not disappeared, while the assault on the deputy now had to be addressed separately. She admitted she preferred a criminal penalty over being hospitalized. >> I can put them on your hands now. >> I'm going to jail. >> Yes, I will tell him. >> He has his number, please. >> All right, I will. All right, just calm down. Deputies placed a spit hood over Autumn and secured the handcuffs more tightly because she had already escaped them. She admitted spitting and officers also referenced her attempts to bite during the struggle. Autumn was told she would first be medically cleared and then taken to jail for the battery. No later court outcome was included in the material.
