On January 20th, 2025, Pensacola, Florida. What began as a routine call to a Comfort Inn on North Davis Highway quickly escalated into a tense confrontation between deputies and a woman who refused to leave the property. Just after 12:40 a.m., a clerk at the Comfort Inn called the Escambia County Sheriff's Office to report a trespasser in the hotel's breakfast area. The woman, later identified as 35-year-old Jerica Laquida Tench, had been asked several times to leave but refused. When Deputy John Nemergut arrived, he found Tench sitting in the lobby with a cup of coffee. Um so, the business is wanting you to leave. >> this ain't business, it's a house.

And there you go. I'm going to I'mma sit down. Yeah, whenever we we got her on the ground, while I was stalling, my shoulder was out of place. I went to pull my taser and realized that that's not going to work. This is multiple patty, so I went to go put it back and that's when she charged. Yeah, that's what I was kind of cuz I was kind of in your crossfire and I was like, crap, we don't need a taser. Yeah, but then she actually took it to you. I didn't think she'd do that. Well, I got hit in the face with a coffee cup and that's why I backed up a little bit. Battery Leo and trespassing. Okay. Um we still don't even know who she is. Yeah, I wasn't able to even get that from her. It was immediately she just bowed up to me. Cuz she went to walk past me, I grabbed her arm, said, "No, you're not getting any more coffee." and then she pushed off me, jumped back, went up both arms up. I took a step forward and she threw a coffee cup like directly at me and hit me somewhere in here. And then it was just all over from that point. I backed up, I drew my taser, told her I was going to taze her, realized she has like multiple layers of clothing, wasn't going to be effective, went to put it back and as soon as I went to put it back, she charged me, rammed into me. Is this something you wanted to go to a hospital now to get checked out? I'd rather be able to kind of play it by ear and reevaluate and then get checked out later. Uh I think I just want to take a second cuz I'm just feeling that tingling and like almost like a warm feeling right here in my forearm. Once secured, she was transported to the Escambia County Jail without further incident. She told deputies she wasn't injured. A supervisor later arrived at the scene to review the arrest. Jerica Tench was charged with battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence, and trespassing after warning, all without bond. She was scheduled to appear in circuit court on February 14th. For deputies, it was a reminder that even a simple trespassing call can change in an instant. And for hotel guests that night, a quiet morning at a Comfort Inn turned into a scene of chaos and flashing lights. If you like content like this, please like and subscribe.
