APPLETON — An Appleton woman is facing multiple criminal charges for hitting her mother over the head with a sewing machine and then spitting at police officers who came to take her into custody.

Dezaray M. Colyer, 23, 2315 E. Peter St., Apt. 4, was placed on a $5,000 cash bond Tuesday in Outagamie County Circuit Court on two counts of criminal damage to property, two counts of disorderly conduct, substantial battery, bail jumping and throwing or expelling bodily substances.

Colyer was also ordered by a judge to obtain an HIV/AIDS blood test.

On Jan. 4, Colyer got into a dispute with her mother at their residence, according to the criminal complaint. Colyer grabbed what was described as a plastic sewing machine and struck her mother in the head several times, causing a severe gash.

When the mother locked herself in the bedroom, Colyer broke down the door and attacked her again, grabbing her by the hair and spitting in her face.

When police arrived they arrested Colyer and placed her in the back of a squad car. When they attempted to move her from one squad to another she became unruly and spit at the officer with some saliva striking him in the mouth.

She continued to resist officers and spit at them, using racial epithets while she was moved into the other police car.

During transport she kicked and spit and caused herself to vomit in the back of the squad car and kicked the rear driver's side window, damaging the track and making it inoperable.

A date for a preliminary hearing is pending.

The mother required nine staples to close the wound to her head.

This kind of behavior is insane.

I say to deter this kind of shit from happening again, take this bitch out to a public square, hang her from a tree and slap the hell out of her until she bleeds.  Cane the bottom of her feet and let the cops spit on her.

I believe in public stonings…

Bury her up to her neck…and start throwing rocks.

But that's just me.

I'll bring the beer.

I don't think you can deter crazy, but it sounds like a good show.  I'll bring the chips.

I'll bring the dip. 

I thing public stonings could solve a lot of problems.

I think a wooden paddle in school and home would too…
