CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) – Deputies have arrested a woman who is accused of taking a deputy’s taser then biting a paramedic’s groin after attempting to leave a family member at the Charleston County jail.
The Charleston County Sheriff’s Office arrested 63-year-old Gina Darlene McGehee of Charleston. She faces several charges including third-degree assault and battery, unlawful conduct towards a child, and assaulting a police officer while resisting arrest.
The incident happened last month when investigators say McGehee left a family member at the Al Cannon Detention Center after she claimed that person had taken a phone and used it to look up inappropriate images.
Deputies said they made numerous attempts to get McGehee to return to the jail before issuing a warrant for her arrest. When she finally returned to the jail, the sheriff’s office said McGehee resisted arrest and took a deputy’s taser which was eventually knocked out of her hand.
A deputy reported that when they got McGehee in a patrol car she attempted to make herself pass out, and EMS responded.
When medics were able to wake her, the report states that McGehee bit one of the paramedics in the groin.
