  • Traffic Disruption:<\/strong> Around 12:15 p.m. on Thursday, November 5, 2026, Golden stood directly in the active travel lanes of U.S. 92 in Polk County, forcing multiple drivers\u2014including a semi-truck driver\u2014to slam on their brakes to avoid hitting her. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The Standoff:<\/strong> A responding deputy pulled over and activated emergency lights to clear her from the road. Upon being approached, Golden yelled, “Do not ****** touch me!”<\/em> and refused to produce identification, telling the deputy, “I am not going to talk to you,”<\/em> before attempting to walk away down the highway.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Physical Altercation:<\/strong> When the deputy moved to physically block her from walking into oncoming danger, Golden grabbed and squeezed him, triggering a physical scuffle before she was subdued.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Following the struggle, Golden was taken into custody and transported to the Polk County Sheriff’s Office processing center on felony and resisting-related charges.<\/sup><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
