Bond was revoked for an Ormond Beach woman arrested twice in one week for similar charges.
Deborah Brinkman, 59, was arrested Nov. 26, by the Flagler County Sheriff’s Office and charged with fleeing/eluding a police officer and willful and wanton reckless driving.
She was arrested again, Monday, Dec. 3, charged with fleeing/eluding a police officer and aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, among other charges, and Dec. 5, Judge Sharon Atack signed a motion to revoke bond, which was set at $23,000.
Flagler deputies were called to a Walmart parking lot, 3:29 a.m. Monday, in response to a woman driving around the parking lot.
A witness, who was picking up garbage in the parking lot, told deputies that Brinkman was driving around throwing out paper towels that she had defecated on.
Deputies located Brinkman’s vehicle, parked between two others, turned on their emergency lights to make a traffic stop, and approached it.
While one deputy approached the driver’s side window, Brinkman attempted to run over the other deputy, who was standing by the passenger-side window.
Brinkman drove her vehicle into the patrol car, also running the deputy into it, and fled the scene.
Her vehicle was boxed in, in a Golden Coral Restaurant’s parking lot. Brinkman was arrested after damaging three patrol cars and a tractor trailer that had been parked in the restaurant parking lot.
According to the report, Brinkman had slurred speech and was unable to stand on her own. Deputies also said several alcoholic beverages were found in her vehicle, and she smelled of alcohol.
On Nov. 26, Brinkman was arrested after deputies attempted to make a traffic stop and she fled. According to the report, she sat at a red light, smiled at deputies, waved and proceeded to drive off.
For the Dec. 3 incident, Brinkman was charged with fleeing and eluding a police officer, aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, leaving the scene of a crash with injuries, driving under the influence resulting in injury, felony criminal mischief and driving under the influence.
She was held on $2,750 bond after the first incident, and released Nov. 29. She is currently being held on $23,000 bond for the second incident.
