An Arizona police officer has lost his eye after a woman that was being placed under arrest became erratic and started flailing her legs wildly.
(FOX)- Pima County Sheriff’s Deputy Cody Gress said that officers arrested Yesennia Gonzalez, 28, for DUI and placed her into handcuffs.
Gress said as she was being placed into the patrol car, she began kicking those around her and kicked the heel of her boot into Traffic Unit Sergeant Mark Bustamante’s left eye.
According to Fox 10 Phoenix, Bustamante was transported to a local hospital and doctors attempted to surgically repair his eye, but were unable to repair the damage that was done.
The officer will receive a prosthetic eye.
