Deputies had to use chemical spray to control Ms. Beilfuss who continued to fight all the way to the hospital.  Once at the hospital she was restrained as she continued to fight to the point where she attempted to bite the hospital staff.  Deputy Perry continued to help the hospital staff try to subdue Ms. Beilfuss who then turned and spit into Perry’s face.  After hospital staff finished clearing her, Deputy Perry transported her to jail and released her to booking
