PIERRE, (KCCR) — A Winner woman was arrested Wednesday morning at Pierre Regional Airport for assaulting a Pierre Police officer. Pierre Police Captain Dusty Pelle says officers responded to Pierre’s airport around 12:30 Wednesday morning for a report of a person trying to get into the locked airport terminal. Responding officers located 69 year-old Pamela Easson of Winner outside of the airport terminal. Easson told officers she was at the airport that early because she had a flight that morning, nearly five hours later around 6:20 am. An officer attempted to help Easson get to a hotel for the night. That’s when Easson became uncooperative with police, throwing a glass alcohol bottle at an officer. The bottle missed and the officer was not injured, however Easson was arrested for Simple Assault on a Law Enforcement Officer and transported to the Hughes County Jail.
