PINEDALE (WNE) —- A Missouri woman is charged with two felonies of injuring deputies while resisting arrest June 20 after a traffic stop near the Daniel Junction. 

Crystal D. Hatcher is also charged with the third or more possession of marijuana, a felony in Wyoming, according to court records. 

Sublette County deputies Brian Gardner and Danielle Cooper stopped driver Clifton N. Brown, also of Missouri, around 11:49 p.m., for speeding southbound on Highway 191, according to the affidavit. Deputies noted a very “distinct” smell of what they concluded was marijuana from the vehicle and asked Brown to step out of the car, which he declined to do, asking to call his attorney, it says. 

Brown resisted and called the deputies “racist” when they asked him several more times and they helped him out, according to the affidavit. 

Brown and Hatcher, his passenger, denied there was marijuana in the vehicle. 

Hatcher said she was 1 week pregnant and refused to get out, verbally and physically resisting and “forcefully” pulling herself out of the patrol car. 

Deputies Gardner and Cooper “carefully placed her on the ground,” according to the affidavit. Both injured their knees from trying to protect Hatcher from hurting herself while resisting as they placed her on the ground, it says. 

Hatcher is charged with a felony of interfering with and causing injury to Gardner as well as the same felony for injuring Cooper. 

She admitted marijuana in the car was hers, leading to a third felony charge of third or subsequent possession, records show. 

Brown was cited for speeding and released. Hatcher refused treatment and was taken into custody, then released after Brown paid her $10,000 cash bond. 

Hatcher waived her June 28 preliminary hearing in Sublette County Circuit Court.
