A 55-year-old woman from Florida found herself under arrest this week following an unusual incident where she reportedly attempted to elude police by defecating in a trash can during her escape.

The woman, identified as Fang Wang, was taken into custody on Tuesday. She faces charges that include battery on a public health department employee and resisting arrest without violence, according to court documents. Additionally, Wang is charged with allowing an unlicensed individual to perform massage therapy.

The incident unfolded when two investigators from the Florida Department of Health visited Wang’s massage business, The Palms of Emerald Coast, for a standard compliance inspection. The parlor is situated on the 100 block of Beal Parkway SE in Fort Walton Beach.

Upon their arrival, the investigators introduced themselves and explained their purpose. According to their report, Wang reacted by becoming extremely upset, confrontational, and uncooperative.

The affidavit detailing the probable cause notes, “The Defendant vocally objected to the investigators’ presence, and as they began their compliance inspection, she placed her hands on the upper back and shoulders of a female health investigator, pushing her as the investigator was performing her official duties.”

The other health department official witnessed the alleged offense and contacted law enforcement.

The inspector who witnessed the alleged battery provided a written statement to police saying Wang “attempted to forcefully move” the other inspector from a room attached to the reception area of the establishment, the entrance of which was covered by a “sheer curtain.”

The victim claimed Wang followed her into the room, grabbed her shoulders from behind, and pushed her forward. The inspector said Wang then told her in “an elevated loud voice to get out of her way.” After demanding that Wang not lay hands on her, the inspector called the Fort Walton Beach Police Department.

When officers reached the massage parlor, Wang continued to “verbally protest the presence of DOH investigators and law enforcement,” the affidavit says. That’s when Wang allegedly tried to flee.

“The Defendant, in an attempt to evade detention, pulled away from law enforcement and defecated in a trash can within the business,” police wrote.

Wang was booked into the Okaloosa Department of Corrections where she is currently being held without bond, records from the county department of corrections show. It was not immediately clear when she was next scheduled to appear in court.
