Woman Arrested for Spitting on Face of EMT, Police Officer

Merrimack police arrested a local woman and charged her with two counts of simple assault for spitting in the face of a town police officer and EMT who responded to her residence for a medical call.

Lisa Duval, 42, of 57 Greens Pond Road, Merrimack, was arrested March 25 on a warrant related to the incident Feb. 21, police said. Police responded to the residence to assist Merrimack Fire and Rescue with a medical call.
