Bend Woman Faces Charges for Alleged Cop Assault

A 46 year old Bend woman faces charges of assaulting a cop, reckless driving, and harassment following a chase through the city early Friday morning.  Bend police say Buffy Thomasson spit on an officer who confronted her in her truck while he was responding to a report of a suspicious vehicle at the entrance to Pilot Butte State Park and says she refused to get out of her truck.  Police say she then drove toward the officer as if she was going to run him down, and then took off.  Cops cornered her in her truck on the Newport Bridge following a downtown pursuit, and took her into custody in full body restraints because of her erratic behavior after smashing her truck window to get to her.
