After first locking herself in a bedroom, Samantha Jo Vroman came out and dashed to a bathroom, where she again briefly locked the door before coming out with a metal curtain rod in her hand, according to state police who were called to her Loyalsock Township home at 2950 Heshbon Road about 11:15 p.m. Thursday. She began moving aggressively toward one of three troopers, who ordered her to drop the rod, but she allegedly refused, forcing a second trooper to use his taser. Law enforcement and an ambulance were sent to the home because the 30-year-old woman was threatening to harm herself and was “out of control,” it was stated in an affidavit.

Even after the trooper deployed his taser, Vroman continued to resist as troopers handcuffed her, took her and tried to restrain her to a stretcher, police said. She kicked one trooper on his side, bit another on his left arm and kicked an emergency medical technician on the left side of his face, it was alleged in the court document.

Vroman was eventually taken into custody and arraigned three hours later before Gardner on three counts each of felony aggravated assault and simple assault as well as one count each of resisting arrest, harassment, possession of cocaine and drug paraphernalia, which she had in her possession, police said. During the proceedings, Vroman used profanities at the judge and state troopers. She was jailed in lieu of $35,000 bail.
