Woman arrested in connection with disobedience to a police officer

An Evanston woman was charged with disobedience to a police officer Monday afternoon near the Chicago-Evanston border, police said.

Police officers responded to a disturbance in an alley in the 600 block of Howard Street, where two groups were involved in a verbal altercation, Evanston police Cmdr. Joseph Dugan said. The 26-year-old woman arrived after the police and was told several times to step back, but she was confrontational, Dugan added.

After being asked to stop multiple times, she was arrested in connection with disobedience to a police officer in a public place and obstructing a police officer, Dugan said.

The woman is scheduled to appear in court June 17.
