JENNINGS — A Welsh woman has been arrested for punching a police car and a correctional officer following her arrest Sunday.

Alicia Marie Matte was arrested on charges of domestic abuse battery, simple battery, resisting an officer and battery of a correctional officer.

Jeff Davis Parish Sheriff’s Office Chief Deputy Chris Ivey said the incident initially began when deputies responded to a disturbance on Blanchard Road in Roanoke.
