A Damariscotta woman has been indicted on six counts stemming from an incident in which she allegedly fought with police.

Tammy Elliot, 44, of Damariscotta was indicted by the Lincoln County Grand Jury on two counts of violation of conditions of release, two counts of refusing to submit to arrest, failure to sign a USC (paperwork) and aggravated criminal mischief.

Elliot was originally arrested on July 15 when Damariscotta Deputy Police Chief Chad Andrews was seeking her out to interview her about a purported hit-and-run case coming from Wiscasset. Wiscasset Police Chief Troy Cline wanted to interview Elliot about the accident, which had happened earlier in the day on July 15.

As Andrews approached the address where Elliot was believed to be, in Damariscotta, he allegedly witnessed her backing out of the driveway. Andrews parked behind her, so she stopped pulling out of the driveway.

Andrews then asked her if she had struck the vehicle, to which she reportedly admitted to doing, and said she stayed at the scene of the accident. Andrews then reminded her that as part of a previous bail agreement she was not supposed to be at the residence where he found her.

At that point, Elliot allegedly yelled an obscenity at Andrews and took off running; Andrews warned her that he would Tase her if she did not cooperate, at which point she slowed down.

But, according to court documents, she was allegedly still combative and Andrews had to handcuff her. Elliot reportedly struggled so much with the cuffs that one cut Andrews' hand. She was eventually cuffed and placed in the back of the police cruiser.

Andrews reported that when he told her they were going to the jail she “flipped out and started kicking at me.”

A marine patrol unit stopped to help Andrews bind Elliot's feet, but Elliot was still able to allegedly spit, and smash her head against the metal cage divider in the cruiser and attempted to free herself from her restraints.

When at Two Bridges Regional Jail, Elliot was reportedly still attempting to slip from her handcuffs.

She was charged with Class E and Class D refusing to submit to arrest, both misdemeanors; two counts of Class E violation of conditions of release, one count of Class C aggravated criminal mischief and one Class E count of refusing to sign USC. Class C crimes, which are felonies, carry a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison with up to a $5,000 fine.
