On Tuesday morning, March 17, 2026, officers confronted a woman who was sleeping inside the CityLink Transit Center in Peoria, Illinois, after she had previously been told to leave. The officer again instructed her to leave, but the situation escalated when he attempted to take her into custody. During the encounter, the woman resisted and was accused of striking or slapping the officer’s arm. She was eventually restrained and complained that her teeth had been injured when she was pushed against a wall. The woman gave her account of the incident to another officer, stating that she had been sleeping inside because it was cold outside and claiming she was trying to leave when the physical encounter occurred. Medical personnel later arrived to assess her, and she was taken to the medical vehicle. Based on the conduct documented in this body camera footage, the following charges could potentially apply: * Criminal Trespassing – for allegedly remaining on the property after being instructed to leave. * Battery on a Police Officer – for striking or slapping the officer’s arm during the encounter. * Resisting Arrest – for physically resisting the officer’s attempts to place her under arrest.
