Patient at Bremerton Hospital was arrested for throwing a fit because she wanted a Smoke Really Bad

Police arrested a 26-year-old Olympia woman at Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton after she allegedly became aggressive toward hospital staff.
Police were called to the hospital at 4:27 a.m. Thursday by a hospital employee, who asked that the woman be arrested for assault. When police arrived they were told the woman had been brought into the hospital because of "seizure activity," but she hadn't had a seizure, according to reports.
The woman asked staff if she could have a cigarette and was told no, which made her mad. She started kicking, spitting, scratching and biting staff, according to reports.
Police arrested her on suspicion of third-degree assault. As they took her through the hospital to the police car she started screaming "stop assaulting me," and caused a commotion, the report said.
While in the police car on the way to the Kitsap County jail, the woman continued to yell and hit her head against the partition between the rear and front seats of the police car. She was booked into jail and held on $75,000 bail.
