A CALIFORNIA woman who slapped a police officer to get arrested got
her wish to go to jail in the hope she can quit smoking there.
Etta Mae Lopez pleaded no contest to smacking Sacramento county
sheriff's deputy Matt Campoy earlier this week after he left the main
jail at the end of his shift.
Campoy told The Sacramento Bee that
Lopez hit him and then told him it was intended to get his attention and
hopefully help kick her habit because tobacco is not allowed in jail.
Authorities say Lopez waited all day for a uniformed deputy to come out to ensure she struck a law enforcement officer.
She pleaded no contest to misdemeanour battery and got 63 days in jail, with credit for the three days she served this week.
