A 40-year-old Chicago woman faces battery and drug possession charges after allegedly punching a paramedic and spitting on a nurse.

Chicago police say Kimberly Jones was due in bond court Saturday.

Police say officers were responding to a suspicious person call Friday when they stopped Jones. She said she was having breathing problems after consuming illicit drugs.

Officers called for fire department paramedics, who began interviewing Jones. She allegedly punched one of them in the face.

She was taken to a South Side hospital, where she spit in the face of a male nurse.

She's charged with felony aggravated battery to first aid personnel, misdemeanor battery and possession of a controlled substance.

It wasn't immediately clear whether she has an attorney.
