Woman charged after spitting on nurses, kicking cop

YOUNGSTOWN

Police say a city woman kicked a police officer several times and spit on another officer and several nurses after she was found rolling around in a Market Street parking lot just after midnight Wednesday.

Lisa Marchionda, 49, was arraigned in municipal court later Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of assault, resisting arrest, disorderly conduct and a felony charge of expelling a bodily fluid at a police officer.

City prosecutor Dana Lantz said some of the charges may be upgraded to felonies if they make it to the grand-jury level when Mahoning County prosecutors have a chance to interview officers who were present.
