What person in their right mind would think in their twisted mind that it is a good idea to bite someone with the intention of giving them a deadly disease? One woman is in court today facing numerous charges including criminal exposure to HIV.

According to WREG: 

A Memphis woman is facing a long list of charges after police said she attacked an officer while trying to escape from police custody.

Police said the woman, 38-year-old Dayton Smith, exposed the officer to HIV after biting him in the arm.

Smith will be in court today for aggravated assault, resisting arrest, drug possession and criminal exposure to HIV.

She was arrested following a traffic stop for having expired tags, driving on a suspended license and no proof of insurance. Officers said they also found marijuana, crack and cocaine inside her car.

After she was arrested, police said Smith was banging on the police car’s windows, asking officers if she could use the bathroom. As officers prepared to escort her to the restroom, police said she tried to run away.

Officers went after her and said they had to take her to the ground to stop her. During a struggle, officers said Smith bit one of them on the arm, breaking the skin.

Police later learned Smith is HIV positive.

The officer was taken to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
