When they arrived at the UIHC, Mullin again reportedly got aggressive and irate. She allegedly spit on hospital security, and was verbally belligerent towards hospital staff and EMS.
Mullin was charged with simple Assault as well as Assault on Persons in Certain Occupations. If convicted, she faces up to 13 months in jail.
