SANDPOINT, Idaho (AP) — A northern Idaho woman is being charged with a felony after police say she chewed up the upholstery of a patrol car seat.

Staci Anne Spence, 42, was charged late last week with felony malicious injury to property and misdemeanors including resisting arrest and battery of an officer.

Spence has not yet entered a plea, according to court records, and a phone listing for her could not be found.

Prosecutors say Spence was arrested Thursday morning after deputies came to her home to investigate a battery report. The deputies wrote in a court statement that when they arrived at the Bonner County Jail, they found Spence had chewed through the patrol vehicle’s upholstery and into the foam cushioning.
