At some point a child in the home attempted to prevent Allen from beating the victim and that’s when deputies say Allen began attacking the girl. Allen is accused of choking the girl and scratching her neck, according to the report.
Deputies said when they arrived, Allen was aggressive to them walking toward authorities with her ”fist clinched and screaming profanities.” When deputies put Allen in restraints she dragged her feet as they attempted to put her into the patrol car, according to the report. She also slammed her head into the car window in an attempt to break it, deputies said.
Allen was “extremely belligerent, rambling on and not forming coherent thoughts,” deputies wrote in the report.
Allen is charged with simple battery, child abuse and resisting law enforcement without violence.
