A disturbance over the weekend at the Fort Boonesborough Campground has landed one woman in jail.
Authorities report being dispatched to the park in reference to a domestic disturbance Sunday July 16, 2023, around 3. The call advised that a female was striking and attacking a man, and the man had locked himself inside the guard shack to get away from her.
When officers arrived, they found a man still in the guard shack and a female yelling profanities loudly. There were items thrown all across the parking lot, and the female was reportedly still throwing things. The citation states the woman refused commands to exit the vehicle. When the arresting officer tried to open the door to remove her, she kicked and assaulted the officer. The woman was then tazed and forcefully removed from the vehicle after a struggle.
Placed under arrest was 67-year-old Mildred Prater of Lexington. She was charged with fourth-degree assault, disorderly conduct, resisting arrest, and criminal littering. She was taken to the Madison County Detention Center.
