Woman has a tantrum when carried in the back of a police cruiser, kicks a Flagler deputy

Flagler County, FL - On Sept. 12, deputies arrested a Palm Coast woman after she kicked a deputy while already under arrest for domestic violence.
Saturday evening, deputies responded to investigate a domestic disturbance that had been reported in the B-Section of Palm Coast. After investigation, deputies determined Julia Jones, 40, of Palm Coast, was the primary aggressor in the incident and took her into custody.
While being placed under arrest, Jones became combative and uncooperative with deputies, which required deputies to lift her off her feet and carry her to a patrol vehicle. As deputies were doing so, Jones began screaming and kicking her feet, striking a deputy in the chest. Deputies gained control of Jones and placed her in the vehicle.
Deputies arrested Jones for domestic battery on a person over 65 and battery on a law enforcement officer. While being transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, Jones lost consciousness and was taken to AdventHealth Palm Coast. After receiving medical clearance, she was transported to the jail, where she was later released on a $5,000 bond.
Jones was arrested previously for battery on law enforcement officer during a 2024 incident in which she berated and spit on deputies who were responding to a report she was highly intoxicated and causing a disturbance. Although the battery charge was not prosecuted, Jones was found guilty of disorderly intoxication and resisting an officer without violence in the case. She had been placed on probation, which she was allowed to end early.
“Deputies carry this woman kicking and screaming to jail,” said Sheriff Staly. “While she was throwing her tantrum, she kicked a deputy in the chest and was arrested for another felony. If you act like a child with a temper tantrum and resist deputies who are just doing their jobs, you will go to jail every time with more charges. And what’s worse, this isn’t the first time we’ve had to deal with her and her childish behavior. Hopefully, she’ll learn her lesson this time after spending time in jail.”
