Grand jury indicts Greensburg woman

A Greensburg woman has been indicted on charges alleging that she assaulted a police officer.

Marijane Brandenburg, 25, of 109 Riverview St. was indicted Tuesday by a Taylor County grand jury.

She was charged with third- and fourth-degree assault, resisting arrest, alcohol intoxication and being a second-degree persistent felony offender.

According to court records, Campbellsville Police received a complaint of an assault at Wal-Mart Supercenter on Oct. 17.

Records state Brandenburg had assaulted a family member at Wal-Mart, and, when police arrived, was still fighting with the individual.

The citation states Brandenburg attempted to hit Campbellsville Police Officer Jason Simpson while he handcuffed her. Brandenburg was forced to the ground and allegedly kicked Simpson several times before being sprayed with pepper spray.

Bond was set at $10,000 cash. If convicted, Brandenburg could be sentenced to as much as five years in prison. The charge of being a persistent felony offender could increase any sentence she might receive.
