According to the Sheriff's Department, Acadian personnel Ryan Pearce, 22, and Christine Dainker, 36, were assaulted after they went to a home on Lily Orchard Road to respond to a report of someone who was drunk and trying to commit suicide using prescription drugs.

Authorities said Pearce and Dainker were trying to help Roach about 9:30 p.m. Saturday when she became violent.

Roach allegedly hit Pearce several times before she was restrained. She then broke free and allegedly hit Pearce several more times.

Authorities said Roach had a ring on one of her fingers and when she started hitting, one of the punches in Pearce's chest left blood marks.

Roach, authorities said, also attempted to kick Acadian Ambulance crew members during the incident.

Jackson County sheriff's deputies arrested Roach, who was taken to the Jackson County jail pending a bond hearing.

In an unrelated incident, Jackson County sheriff's deputies arrested Dale Edwar McInn, 50, of Biloxi, on Sunday and charged him with one count each of public drunk, disorderly conduct and assault on a police officer.

Authorities made the arrest after responding to a disturbance in the neighborhood that was apparently coming from McInn's home.

McInn was already under arrest on the misdemeanor charges and in a patrol car en route to the Jackson County Sheriff's Department substation when he's accused of assaulting an officer.

The deputy said McInn was verbally abusive and making threats in the patrol car. When they got near the Mississippi 57 exit on Interstate 10, authorities said, McInn started spitting at the deputy.

The deputy pepper-sprayed McInn, then stopped to clean out his eye and then the two drove on until McInn allegedly starting spitting at the deputy once more. McInn was pepper-sprayed a second time before he was jailed.

No injuries were reported.
