PROVO — It took several officers to subdue a combative, screaming, naked woman who had spent her evening using drugs, then threw her neighbor's possessions off a balcony, police said.

Provo police responded Saturday night before 10 p.m. to a call from neighbors who said a half-naked woman was knocking on their window, according to a police report filed in 4th District Court.

By the time police got there, the woman was in the neighbor's bedroom, now fully naked, police said.

The woman became more agitated and fought with police, lunging and grabbing at officers. She made obscene comments and, during the struggle to get her handcuffed, bit one of the officers on the inner thigh, breaking the skin, according to the affidavit.

Police found the woman's 6-year-old son in her nearby apartment, as well as evidence of a rampage, which included broken pictures, lamps and dishes and a broken bird cage.

Officers found the bird and turned it over to animal control and then removed the child and placed him in the custody of the Division of Child and Family Services for his own protection, the affidavit states.

Below the apartments, officers also located items belonging to the neighbor and to the woman, which they believe she had thrown off the balcony sometime that evening.

The woman was taken to Utah Valley Regional Medical Center, where toxicology reports confirmed that she was under the influence of methamphetamine. The woman was booked into the Utah County Jail for investigation of child abuse, resisting arrest, assault on a peace officer, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief, possession of a controlled substance and public intoxication.
