No domestic violence crime occurred, instead woman arrested for battery on a peace officer

On 02-06-2019 at approximately 1:30 p.m., Mendocino County Sheriff’s Deputies received a call for service for a domestic related argument at residence in the 29000 block of Highway 20 in Fort Bragg, California.

Prior to arriving, Deputies received updated information that one of the involved parties was Doris Camp and the situation possibly escalated into a physical altercation.

After Deputies arrived on scene they observed Camp acting hysterical and belligerent in front of her residence.  Deputies were able to momentarily calm Camp and learned she was engaged in a verbal argument with her cohabiting partner over their relationship and that no physical assault took place.

Deputies then contacted the other involved party after instructing Camp to remain at the front of a patrol vehicle.  While speaking with Camp’s cohabiting partner, Camp’s behavior escalated to an aggressive and threatening state wherein she began advancing towards her cohabiting partner, while also failing to comply with Deputies verbal commands.

As a Deputy moved to intervene and stop Camp, she intentionally struck the Deputy in the face with an open hand and caused visible injury.  Camp was taken into custody immediately after a brief struggle.

Camp was ultimately booked into the Mendocino County Jail where she was to be held in lieu of $15,000.00 bail.

Following Camp’s arrest, Deputies completed their investigation into the reported incident and determined no crime had occurred between the two parties.
