Wysocki pleads not guilty to assault

POLSON — A St. Ignatius woman is accused of attacking two law enforcement officers who were called to investigate a disturbance. Jessica Ann Wysocki, 40, entered a plea of not guilty in Polson District Court on July 13 to two felony counts of assault on a peace or judicial officer and misdemeanor charges of partner or family member assault and DUI.

According to court records, on June 23, law enforcement officers were called to a report of an intoxicated woman at a residence on Ninepipes Road. The reporting party claimed that his girlfriend had been drinking all day and was “raging” when she came at him. She allegedly shattered a window to a shed on the property before she left in her vehicle. Law enforcement intercepted the suspect, later identified as Wysocki while she was still on Ninepipes Road. She was allegedly holding a knife and had a dog in the vehicle with her. Wysocki refused to roll her window down. She was verbally warned by the officers that they would break her window if she did not comply with orders. Meantime, a second officer let the air out of the front tires to Wysocki’s vehicle in an attempt to keep her from driving away. Wysocki was allegedly verbally aggressive towards the officers before they were forced to break a window to gain access to her. She allegedly kicked both officers as they were attempting to place her in the back of a patrol car. A preliminary breath sample taken at the jail showed Wysocki’s blood alcohol content at .321.

Judge Deborah “Kim” Christopher set a trial for December 11. Wysocki is at liberty.
