A Marshall woman who has been charged with a felony for allegedly assaulting a law-enforcement officer on May 12 has a court proceeding set for this week.

A deputy reported he was escorting Sydney Nicole Rodgers out of the courthouse in Marshall after she was ordered by a judge to spend time in the county jail for probation violation. He says Rodgers, whose hands were cuffed in front of her body, pulled away and ran to a parked vehicle on the south side of the square. She got in and started the vehicle; and while pulling out, she made eye contact with the deputy, who was in pursuit. The vehicle nearly struck the deputy, who had to get out of the way.

Rodgers was apprehended a little over an hour later by authorities in Cooper County.

Court documents say Rodgers is charged with a Class B Felony for Assault in the Second Degree- Special Victim, with bond set at $15,000 cash only.

Rodgers was arraigned on Monday, May 17. A confined-docket hearing is scheduled for 11 a.m. on Wednesday, May 19, at Saline County Circuit Court.
