Officer Lombardi and Officer Takei then witnessed Mrs Barbie Knight-Schmidt eat a psychedelic mushroom while running from Officers.

Officer Lombardi and Officer Takei got the suspect cornered in Legion Square where she drew a machete and swung it at Officer Lombardi, striking him once in the arm. Officer Lombardi tased her once, she stood up and charged him once more, Officer Lombardi tased her once again. Mrs Barbie Knight-Schmidt then dropped the machete and surrendered to Officers. Officer Takei advised her of her rights and searched her, identifying 7 mushrooms in a baggy on her person as well as 5 grams of weed. Officer Takei requested medical treatment for Mrs Barbie Knight-Schmidt and Officer Lombardi. Both were treated on scene by SAFR and released. Officer Lombardi and Officer Greer transported both suspects to VPD.
At VPD Officer Lombardi administered a sobriety test, both suspects showing signs of intoxication - cocaine residue present under their noses and dilated pupils. During a sobriety test, Mrs Barbie Knight-Schmidt struck Officer Lombardi multiple times. Both suspects requested a lawyer and were provided PDO Raphael Messi. Prior to Counselor Messi’s arrival, Mrs Barbie Knight-Schmidt struck Officer Greer once in the face. Officer Lombardi requested SAFR to VPD to assist with Greer’s injury.
