Brooksville Woman Arrested for Disorderly Intoxication and Battery on LEO after Removing Clothing and Causing Multiple Disturbances

On 06-09-2026 at approximately 2 p.m., deputies with the Hernando County Sheriff’s Office responded to the Texaco Gas Station located at 101 Ponce De Leon Boulevard in Brooksville regarding a disorderly individual causing a disturbance outside the business.

Upon arrival, deputies were advised that the individual later identified as Iesha Field DOB/12-14-1992 had been yelling at customers, behaving erratically, and disrupting the business. Employees requested that Field be trespassed from the property.

After being issued a trespass warning, Field left the gas station and went to a nearby mobile home park on West Jefferson Street, where deputies observed Field’s continued disruptive behavior. While at the mobile home park, Field removed her clothing and was only wearing her underwear.

Field, who appeared to be under the influence of alcohol and/or narcotics, was yelling, acting belligerently, and disturbing residents, including a mother with young children. The mother requested that Field be trespassed from her property as well.

Deputies attempted to de-escalate the situation by instructing Field, who had previous injuries to her right knee and left eye, to return to her residence. Field refused commands, became increasingly combative, and was taken into custody.

During the arrest, Field resisted deputies’ efforts to place her into a patrol vehicle and continued to act aggressively. Field repeatedly hit and kicked deputies as they placed her in the patrol vehicle.

Once inside the vehicle, Field continued her disruptive behavior by banging her head and feet repeatedly against the window of the patrol vehicle. When deputies opened the door to address Field’s behavior, the movement she was making caused her to fall out of the vehicle.

Deputy M. LaPalme assisted Field in getting back into the patrol vehicle. During this encounter, Field spit on the left side of Deputy LaPalme’s face. Deputy LaPalme continued to work to secure Field in the back of the patrol vehicle. While he was buckling her into the seat, Field once again spit in LaPalme’s face, who responded with an open-handed palm strike to the victim’s face to prevent her from spitting. Deputy LaPalme finished securing Field in the vehicle and closed the door.

Deputies reported that Field continued to resist, kick, and attempt to damage the patrol vehicle during transport. Due to her continued combative behavior, additional restraints and a spit hood were utilized for the safety of both Field and responding personnel.

Field was transported to the Hernando County Detention Center, where detention staff assisted in securing her due to her continued aggressive behavior.

Field was charged as follows:

• Battery on a Law Enforcement Officer (Felony)
• Breach of the Peace / Disorderly Intoxication

She was booked into the Hernando County Detention Center and is being held on a $3,000 bond.

The entire incident was captured on multiple body cameras and an in-car camara. Deputy’s LaPalme’s actions are currently under review.
