A Marshall woman has been charged with a felony for allegedly assaulting a law-enforcement officer on Wednesday, May 12.
According to a Saline County Deputy’s report, a deputy was escorting Sydney Nicole Rodgers out of the courthouse in Marshall after she was ordered by a judge to spend time in the county jail for probation violation. Rodgers, whose hands were cuffed in front of her body, pulled away and ran to a parked vehicle on the south side of the square. She got in and started the vehicle. While pulling out, she made eye contact with the deputy, who was in pursuit. The vehicle nearly struck the deputy, who had to get out of the way.
