A 45-year-old woman was yesterday charged with violently resisting several police officers as they were executing an arrest warrant.

Rose Parnis from Naxxar was charged after the incident which took place last Wednesday.

The accused pleaded not guilty and was granted bail, together with a personal guarantee of €3,000.

When contacted, a police spokesman said the woman alleged the police used excessive force as they were arresting her, which prompted an internal inquiry.

The police said the woman’s relatives failed to comply with a police request to forward the CCTV footage of the arrest to help with the investigations.
