Police in Portsmouth have charged a woman with a DUI and malicious wounding after she hit two officers with her car early Sunday.
Just after 2 a.m., officers responded to the 4000 block of Missy Elliott Boulevard for “an altercation and disorderly crowd,” according to a spokesperson for the department. While officers were dispersing the crowd, police say Shaquilla Oneka Cuffee, 29, struck two of the officers with her vehicle and fled the scene. Both officers were injured, and one was taken to the hospital. The officer was later released.
Portsmouth police pulled Cuffee over on Interstate 264 eastbound, where she was taken into custody. Cuffee was charged with a DUI and malicious injury to law enforcement officers, among several other charges related to the crash.
