Welcome to Arrest Stories,
On a warm October evening, a Prescott, Arizona, police officer witnessed a shocking scene unfold, one that would shake the community and lead to a dramatic resignation.
A judge, caught in a compromising position, exposed a darker side of the law.
Here's what may have happened.
On October fourth, a concerned citizen alerted authorities after spotting a woman urinating in public while vomiting. As police arrived, the woman's husband, Jason Olson, attempted to intervene, trying to pull her away from the scene. However, his actions only escalated the situation, prompting the officer to arrest him for resisting arrest, interfering with a crime scene investigation, and obstruction of government operations.
The woman, later identified as Judge Kristyne Schaaf-Olson, was seen urinating in public while intoxicated. Witnesses described the scene as disturbing, with some expressing disgust at the sight. Body-camera footage of the incident would later go viral, sparking widespread outrage and calls for accountability.
As the officer approached Schaaf-Olson, she was seen vomiting while relieving herself, further complicating the situation. The officer, trained to handle sensitive situations, attempted to de-escalate the conflict while also enforcing the law. However, Schaaf-Olson's husband continued to interfere, leading to his eventual arrest.
The incident led to Schaaf-Olson's resignation as Judge Pro Tempore of the Yavapai County Superior Court, effective immediately. The resignation came just hours after the incident, as the community reeled from the news.
