A Bartlesville woman is facing a felony charge after allegedly slapping a police officer's hand.

 

67-year-old Janice Stevenson was charged on Wednesday with assault and battery on a police officer.

 

According to the Bartlesville Police Department, the charges stem from a harrassment complaint against Stevenson. Officers responded to the scene and as they were attempting to detain Stevenson, she allegedly slapped the officer's hand away as they were trying to put her vehicle into park. Stevenson also faces a misdemeanor charge of obstructing an officer.

 

Stevenson will appear in court again on April 17. Her bond is set at $5,000.
