Palm Coast Woman Kicks Deputy During Domestic Violence Arrest

Deputies with the Flagler County Sheriff's Office arrested a Palm Coast woman on Sept. 12 after she kicked a deputy while already in custody on a domestic violence charge.

Flagler County Sheriff's deputies responded Saturday evening to a domestic disturbance reported in the B-Section of Palm Coast. Following an investigation, deputies determined Julia Jones, 40, of Palm Coast, was the primary aggressor in the incident and took her into custody.

According to the sheriff's office, Jones became combative and uncooperative as deputies attempted to place her under arrest. Deputies were forced to lift her off her feet and carry her to a patrol vehicle. During that process, Jones began screaming and kicking, striking a deputy in the chest.

Deputies regained control of Jones and placed her inside the patrol vehicle. She was arrested on charges of domestic battery on a person over 65 and battery on a law enforcement officer.

While being transported to the Sheriff Perry Hall Inmate Detention Facility, Jones lost consciousness and was taken to AdventHealth Palm Coast for evaluation.

The Flagler County Sheriff's Office released bodycam footage of the arrest. Jones faces charges of domestic battery on a person over 65 and battery on a law enforcement officer.
