A shocking encounter between a frustrated driver and local police officers in Texas turned chaotic after the woman allegedly threw a cup of liquid — believed to be urine — at officers during a traffic stop. The incident, which was caught on bodycam video, quickly escalated and led to her immediate arrest.
According to the Dallas Police Department, officers had stopped the woman outside a municipal building after receiving multiple reports of disorderly conduct. The situation began as a verbal argument but took a wild turn when the woman rolled down her car window and hurled a cup of liquid directly at one of the officers standing beside her vehicle.
The officer, visibly shocked, stepped back and quickly moved to detain her. “Ma’am, you just assaulted an officer!” one of the deputies can be heard saying in the video. Within seconds, the woman was ordered out of the vehicle, placed in handcuffs, and escorted to the patrol car.
Police confirmed the woman, identified as Sandra T., 29, faces multiple charges including assault on a public servant and interfering with official duties. Authorities also stated that testing confirmed the liquid thrown was indeed human waste.
Sheriff David Ramirez condemned the act, calling it “a disgusting and dangerous form of assault.” He added, “Officers face difficult situations daily, but being targeted with bodily fluids crosses every line of respect and safety.”
Witnesses nearby said the woman had been yelling and behaving erratically even before the officers approached her. “She was angry about a parking ticket,” one passerby recalled. “Next thing we knew, she was shouting and throwing things at the police.”
The video clip, which has since circulated online, shows officers maintaining remarkable restraint despite the provocation. Social media users have praised their calm response, while others expressed disbelief that someone would resort to such extreme behavior.
“This is beyond unacceptable,” one commenter wrote. “Imagine doing that to people just trying to do their job.”
Following her arrest, Sandra reportedly apologized for her actions but claimed she was “having a bad day.” However, officials noted that such behavior carries serious legal consequences. Under Texas law, assaulting a peace officer — even with bodily fluids — can result in up to 10 years in prison and significant fines.
In a statement released the following morning, the department reminded the public that officers are trained to de-escalate confrontations but will not tolerate attacks of any kind. “Everyone has bad days,” Sheriff Ramirez said, “but throwing bodily fluids is not how you solve them.”
The incident serves as yet another reminder that disrespecting or attacking law enforcement officers can have life-changing consequences — and that every heated moment caught on camera can spread far beyond what anyone expects.
As one officer put it after the arrest: “She thought she could humiliate us, but in the end, she just embarrassed herself.”
