Officers were attempting to transport Kristen Nicole Stephens, 34, around 11 p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 21 to another medical facility when the attack happened, just days after she initially attacked officers on Monday, Dec. 19, according to Prince William County police.

During the attempted transfer, Stephens was able to kick an officer in the head so hard he lost his balance and fell backwards. Stephens was being detained on an active Temporary Detention Order and was able to be resecured after the attack. 

On Monday, Dec. 19, Stephens hit an officer in the chest and spat on a separate officer while awaiting processing at a facility out-of-county.

The attacks resulted in additional charges for Stephens, who remains hospitalized.
