What Happened<\/h2>\n

According to court documents, the incident happened at about 3:21 p.m. Wednesday, March 18. Wildung was at the probation office after providing a urinalysis sample.<\/p>\n

A probation officer then told Wildung she would be taken into custody. The complaint says that the decision followed a failed UA.<\/p>\n

Court records say Wildung pushed a chair aside and stood up. She then shoved a probation officer against a door.<\/p>\n

Another agent opened the door from the other side, the complaint says. Wildung then pushed the first officer into the door frame.<\/p>\n

The officer tried to hold on to Wildung, according to the complaint. Investigators say Wildung swung free and threw the officer into a wall.<\/p>\n

The officer fell and reported pain in the left leg and shoulder. As of Thursday, visible bruising was still present, court records state.<\/p>\n

Wildung then ran from the probation office and left the courthouse. Officers later found her near railroad tracks south of the building.<\/p>\n

When officers approached, Wildung ran again, according to the complaint. She was arrested after a chase of about 36 yards.<\/p>\n

Charges and Next Steps<\/h2>\n

The injured officer was scheduled for a medical exam. The exam was meant to check for any added injury.<\/p>\n

Wildung remained in custody pending further court action. No plea was listed in the court file available Thursday.<\/p>\n

Under Minnesota law, fourth-degree assault can be a felony in this kind of case. That applies when a probation officer is attacked while working.<\/p>\n

The charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in prison. It also carries a possible $4,000 fine.<\/p>\n
